9.2.1-alpha2 fails to install on OS X
Summary
Attempting to install on a normal OSX machine fails.
Steps to reproduce
Install:
In my case using
$ ghcup install ghc -u file:///Users/ekmett/ghc/ghc-9.2.0.20210422-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz head
leads to
[ ghc-make ] "/Users/ekmett/.ghcup/ghc/head/lib/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/Users/ekmet...

[ ghc-make ] Reason: image not found
[ ghc-make ] make[1]: *** [install_packages] Abort trap: 6

I get the same error if I extract the distribution, xattr -rc
and then ./configure
and make install
as normal.
It appears that the distribution includes fixed path links to nix-darwin
specific build paths.
Expected behavior
Installation of ghc 9.2.1-alpha2.
Environment
- GHC version used: 9.2.1-alpha2
Optional:
- Operating System: OSX
- System Architecture: Darwin
