I'm rather interested in this fix as well. I have a FreeBSD virtual machine[1] running currently, with GHC 6.10.3 installed and working. I tried to install the Haskell platform, but (long story short) it required that I update all of my installed programs[2]. That's been going on since this morning, and hopefully I should be able to get the Haskell platform installed fairly quickly once the rest of this upgrade finishes.
I've researched the sysctl calls and such to do this in the past, purely as a matter of personal interest, so I might be able to throw together some code pretty quickly once I get everything set up properly. I'll follow up as soon as this ridiculously long upgrade process completes. Please anyone let me know if they get this working before me, as I'd like nothing better than to shut down this VM already. - Will Donnelly [1] The second VM at <http://virtualbox.wordpress.com/images/freebsd/> [2] It was because the Haskell Platform requires libGL, which requires a recent x11-xcb, which requires a full system update.
