#18788: ghc is not installing from MacPorts on PowerPC Leopard 10.5.6 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: mokeefe8@… | Owner: gwright@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: haskell ghc | Port: ghc @6.10.1 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by mokeefe8@…): Note, as a potential work-around, I attempted to install the binaries from the http://www.haskell.org/ghc directory for Leopard PPC (the binary from Michael Witten). The ghc binaries install fine but when I try to subsequently install cabal-install I get this error message (after trying to run ./bootstrap.sh). Seems like this error and the port install error might be related... cabal-install-0.6.2 $ ./bootstrap.sh Checking installed packages for ghc-6.10.1... parsec is already installed and the version is ok. network is already installed and the version is ok.
