I'm just glad there's a nice binary of GHC available to download from somewhere. I'm running 10.11, and I had to compile GHC from source (homebrew) on my MacBook air in order to install youtube-dl with rtmpdump support. It took literally all night to compile. Hours and hours and hours.

Another way to get binaries is to install with stack. See here: http://seanhess.github.io/2015/08/04/practical-haskell-getti.... At our first Utah Haskell meetup we had around 30 people manage to get GHC and some libraries installed, then complete a tutorial in less than a couple hours.
I think that the Haskell Platform has binaries for the Mac: https://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html .
Didn't https://ghcformacosx.github.io/ work for you? I have no problems on 10.11 with GHC.
