in thread How much Perl6 have we got?

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. After installing this package, this is what shows up when I run this: 
install Perl6::Pugs
ghc-pkg: cannot find package plugins
*** Inline Haskell support disabled.  If you want dynamic loading
    of haskell modules, please install the hs-plugins library:
        http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/hs-plugins
    Remember to "make register" after "make install" for hs-plugins!

*** Perl 5 embedding disabled.  If you want Perl 5 support, please set the
    PUGS_EMBED environment variable to contain "perl5".

*** GHC 6.4.0 cannot work with GCC 4.0 on Mac OS X.
    Please use "sudo gcc_select 3.3" to pick an earlier version of gcc,
    or set the CC environment variable to "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3".
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Attempting to install the hs-plugins ultimately brings up this, after running make: 
Rebuilding dependencies ... Could not find module `Language.Haskell.Hsx':
  use -v to see a list of the files searched for
  (imported from System/Plugins/Parser.hs)
Moving on, after changing gcc to 3.3, I then attempted to install Perl6::Pugs, it wouldn't install at all. I got this: 
  Makefile.PL returned status 65280
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
I've attempted this before, so that's why I asked if there's a binary installation.

    If you've already installed Xcode you just need to sudo gcc_select 3.3 to continue from this point - there is no need to install those hs-plugins. If you haven't installed Xcode, you can find it on your Tiger-cd.

      I got it figured out and it's installing now. Couple questions . . . is it necessary to have the hs-plugins working? Does it make the job easier if I have this working? What does this 0plugin do exactly, anyway?

        hs-plugins lets you say 
        eval_haskell('
-- haskell code here
');

        [download]
        in a perl 6 program.

        As for 'make' not being rerun in the CPAN shell, 'force install' should fix it... CPAN tends to be a little overzealous, and does not retry a build that failed in the same session.

        gcc 3.3 should have solved things for you, but then CPAN refused to try again, and that's why it worked later.

      Well, unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to install successfully. Several errors having to do with io, haskell, etc. I posted the error messages I got when it was going through the make test process on a mac perl list and as of now, there hasn't been any responses. So, it looks like I'm going to have to wait for Pugs to be a bit more mature before trying again (and meanwhile, if there's anyone in here who's been able to successfully get Pugs installed in their OS X system, I'd love to learn your secrets!).

        Sorry, it worked for me, without any further problems, the way I described it.
