#35320: is impossible to install the ghc port -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: fmgolmedo@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.1 Keywords: ghc, perl5.8 | Port: ghc -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- I upgraded my Mac OS X to version Mountain Lion. Then I installed "XCode 4.4" and "Command Line Tools". Then I ran the command sudo port upgrade outdated and all went well. Finally I wanted to add ghc via macport sudo port install ghc and then I found the dialogue suguiente Warning: Your developer_dir setting in macports.conf points to a non- existing directory. Since this is Known to cause problems, please correct the setting or comment it and let auto-discover macports the correct path. ---> Computing dependencies for ghc ---> To be installed Dependencies: perl5.8 ---> Building perl5.8 Error: perl5.8 port for org.macports.build returned: command execution failed Error: Failed to install perl5.8 Please see the log file for perl5.8 port for details: Error: The following dependencies Were not installed: perl5.8 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide: http://guide.macports.org/ # project.tickets Error: Processing of port ghc failed I think the reason the problem is that ghc depends on perl5.8 and that this version of perl is no longer available. Can you fix this problem or tell me a solution? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35320> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
