In your original email you wrote: After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,* please please link your reply to it. Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose." ? My understanding is that after that you got the error: libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib=E2=80=9D can=E2=80=99t be opened becau= se Apple cannot check it for malicious software. I then suggested you had encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 and I suggested you do: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my photos when I don't have any." Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an email? Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think somebody will be able to help you.
