I'm using the generic installer,

    $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
    ...

    $ make
    ...

    * Now do "make install"                           
    **************************************************

    $ make install

    * Now do "cabal update" to initialize the package list                          
    *
    * Additional packages may be found at http://hackage.haskell.org

    * Use "cabal install <foo>" to install additional packages

    $ cabal update

So the generic installer seems to be working? Leopard/Mac/intel.
