Description

<Describe the problem>

When I try to run ghci I get the following error after installing.

jstjohn$ ghci GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _iconv_open

The fix to this problem with snow leopard is to do the following 1. sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib.old 2. ln -s /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib

That's it! I guessed this was the problem when I noticed the file size of the 'libiconv.2.dylib' that is linked to in /usr/local/lib is smaller than the one located in /usr/lib. Kind of a hack and I am hoping this doesn't break anything else in my system. If it does I can just reestablish /usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib.old
