How do I install nano-hmac on Mac OS X?

"nano-hmac" is a Haskell package which can normally be installed using Cabal. However, Mac OS X has a different OpenSSL library than the one it expects, so it fails to compile bindings.

I can install the version of openssl from openssl.org, but I'm not sure how to instruct Cabal to use this instead of the Mac OS X version.

A: 

Disclaimer: I'm not a Haskell developer. (I know, I know...)

That said, I would recommend investigating the use of Fink which provides support for GHC as well as openssl and many (most?) common FOSS packages.

I have not had good experiences with Fink

macports has its own openssl, ghc and hs-cabal. Have you tried installing everything via macports?

I wasn't able to get a pre-compiled cabal to use macports openssl. Hopefully this will work though.

I hope you'll not be offended by macports having right now just updated their ghc port.

I can't install it. It doesn't like my version of perl, even though I got that from macports too. It says: checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl5.8 configure: error: your version of perl probably won't work, try upgrading it.

at which point are you stuck?
kch  2009-05-08 00:26:56
sudo port install ghc. Here's a pastie of the output: http://www.friendpaste.com/56TvcPjhLy2jN9FBvSRrAl

just wondering if you ever managed to get this going / still interested in solving it.Before you try anything else, you should probably try upgrading all your ports. Every time someone has a port issue that I don't, it boils down to lack of regular upgrades.

This is still a problem for me. Anyone have any advice?
