Also having this issue, and none of the other installation methods are working for me either: stack install from source gives

Unable to find installation URLs for OS key: macosx-nopie

and cabal install gives

unknown package: bin-package-db (dependency of haste-compiler)

and there is no pre-built package available for OSX.

[Huxpro]

Same problem

[ghost]

still not fixed

apparently nobody cares about this project

[Experiment5X]

Please fix, this seems like a really cool project

[WolframKahl]

It is a really cool project.

Fresh install of haskell platform 8.2.2

But it only works with GHC-7.10.3.

Please don't even try to install Haste with GHC-8.
