I tried to get it to work, but it's really hard. Imagine you barely know the language and you barely understand how binary libraries work in linux and you're getting these errors that you've never seen before. You ask for help but it seems like you're the 2nd person on the planet who's ever experienced this issue. You read the post of the 1st guy, but for some reason his solution doesn't work for you and you don't understand why.
Most people in #haskell told me to switch to linux which seems like a ridiculous solution. I documented my struggle as another HN comment you can read here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5615683

Yeah, that's really unfortunate. This problem will continue to persist as long as people keep switching to linux to avoid it or abandoning the language altogether.
How long ago was your attempt and how did you install Haskell itself on your system?
