Type the following at the command line:

xcode-select --install

and then try ghci again.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the software" in the phrase "Should I delete
and reinstall the software you told me to install?" but in any case don't
delete anything. Please try to be as specific as possible.

When you first encounter a problem you should Google for a solution. If
that doesn't work you can send mail to me but also cc [email protected]
and  [email protected]

Cheers
George
