[haskell-platform] #182: Haskell Platform will not install on current Macintosh

[Warren Burton]

I have downloaded again and had the correct MDA checksum. I had the same problem.
I am enclosing the lines from the install.log relating to this install attempt.

Thanks for your help,
Warren Burton

| Comment(by MtnViewMark):
| 
| The error is indicative of a corrupted download. I doubt it has
| anything
| to do with Lion or Xcode -- the installer isn't even getting as far as
| reading the contents of the packages!
| 
| I believe the MD5 of that version of the Mac installer package should
| be:
| 1782d246279fd4c44ac7696221fd055a
| 
| Is that what you have?
