Hello,
	Just yesterday (Friday Eastern US time) I installed GHC without  
(apparently) any problems.
It took many hours to build and install, and over a gigabyte of  
temporary disk space and probably half a gig (give or take) ...for  
everything once installed:
	ghc @6.6_2+darwin_8_powerpc (active)
	perl5.8 @5.8.8_0+darwin_8 (active)
	gmp @4.2.1_4+test (active)

The first time I tried it the build just hung because I filled up my  
drive. :-(
I'm not a GHC expert, but I am curious to know far into the build  
process you were and if the dependencies were already installed or if  
they were installed as part of the 'install ghc'?
