It's gcc 1.37, I believe, running under MPW, and the other options
mentioned are far better.  Get MachTen, switch boot to the Mac Linux or
BSD of your choice, hold out for MacOS X, but don't waste your time on
that one.  IMO. 

I believe there are several Mac Haskell interpreters, and as Georg Bauer
mentioned the free compilers list has many more mentioned.  (I used xlisp
2.1 for the Mac in several classes--not MCL, but effective on no budget.)
But who is using a Mac Haskell interpreter?  :)
