Replying to [ticket:36973 Deil.Christoph@…]:
I got this error trying to install {{{ghc}}} on Mac OS X 10.8: {{{ ---> Building ghc symlink: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/lang/ghc/work -> /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work: permission denied }}}
That doesn't appear to be relevant, and that's not what's in the log you attached. But I'm unfamiliar with the ghc build system and I'm having a little trouble figuring out from the attached log what the relevant error is.
I simply copy & pasted the output on my console and attached the log. I'm not familiar with {{{ghc}}} either, all I want is to install {{{pandoc}}}, which is a dependency for nbconvert (https://github.com/ipython/nbconvert), a python tool I want to use. {{{hs-platform-ghc}}} did install for me without problems and seems to contain the same thing as the {{{ghc}}} port. Unfortunately {{{pandoc}}} can't be built with {{{hs-platfrom-ghc}}} apparently: {{{ $ sudo port install pandoc Password: ---> Computing dependencies for pandoc Error: Unable to execute port: Can't install ghc because conflicting ports are installed: hs-platform-ghc }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36973#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
