I'm having problems with trace mode (port -t install) in trunk which are not present in 1.5.2. Compiling the newly-added pandoc in 1.5.2 with or without trace mode works fine. In trunk, it builds fine without trace mode, but with trace mode, it says "access denied to / opt/local/bin/runhaskell (ghc)" which I don't understand since the port does declare a dependency on ghc. The message seems to be printed by src/pextlib1.0/tracelib.c which seems to be a new file added last month by epimenov, whom I'm Cc'ing. pandoc $ sudo port -t MacPorts 1.520 Entering interactive mode...
