GHC on Macs

I used to be a hacker, but now I'm more of a manager type. I would still like to be able to run GHC and GHCi on my Mac (Intel, 10.4), so I tried to install it. I failed, regardlesss of which version of GHC I tried. Each case required me to go off and try to find other stuff to install, like frameworks, or gcc etc.

This is a shame. The standard for Macs is to have an installer that is double-clicked, and everything happens automatically. I would *love* it if something like that could be done for GHC. I know Lennart A would like it too!

Thanks, John Launchbury
