You may be able to download a newer version from the [ Apple Developer Connection](http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode) website. You may need to sign up for a free membership in the Apple Developer Connection, and downloading may still cost a little money.

Successful builds of older GHC sources have been reported using Xcode 3.0, 2.4 and 2.4.1 on Intel Macs. Xcode 2.2.1 is known *not* to work out of the box on Intel Macs, and Xcode 3.0 is known *not* to work out of the box on PowerPC Macs ([\#2887](https://gitlab.haskell.org//ghc/ghc/issues/2887)). Versions prior to 3.1 may build GHC successfully, but choke on certain libraries.
