hello - i'm picking up Tidal Cycles again after a bit of break. I went to reinstall the 'easy' mac package and keep getting this -

**[Info]** verifying digest of: ghc-8.8.3-x86\_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz

**[Info]** Unpacking: ghc-8.8.3-x86\_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz to /var/folders/xn/d82x46vn6\_x3bnx7gmmt18h40000gn/T/ghcup-IoNrBZ

**[Info]** Installing GHC (this may take a while)

[ghc-configure] not found (too old?)

**[Error]** Build failed with NonZeroExit 77 "./configure" ["--prefix=/Users/LindsayCorstorphine/.ghcup/ghc/8.8.3"]

"ghcup --cache install" failed!

What does it mean and what do I do from here?! Help!

Thanks!

Lindsay

Hi @Lindsay_Corstorphine,  
Hm it's having problems compiling some library from source code. Maybe the compiler is missing.

What happens when you run this in a terminal window:

```shell
xcode-select --install

```
