Does OS X dmg download depend on installed Haskell, and if so

Does OS X dmg download depend on installed Haskell, and if so

[John Velman]

what version?
Reply-To: 

I'm asking my question for two reasons:

First, I'm running a bit behind on upgrading my Haskell installation, and on my
pandoc installation.  I use pandoc markdown to pdf regularly to make my
various notes and diaries readable.  Can I download the dmg for 1.9.2 with
no problems? (ghci says I'm running GHCi, version 7.0.3).

Also, I notice that an increasing number of people, presumably not from the
Haskell community,  are using pandoc.  I'm currently working on an OS X
application for my own use, but, who knows, if it looks useful enough I
might distribute it somehow.  In this application I intend to use markdown
to either import the model data, or perhaps interpret markdown to insert
new data in the running application.  *IF* I ever distribute it, can I
advise users to install pandoc?  If that would be a big deal for some, I
probably should stick to basic markdown.  (This is purely OSX.  I'm writing
in cocoa objective C, with no intention of porting).

Thanks,

John Velman

No, the binary package doesn't require installed Haskell.
