"'Seems to be' an upstream problem with some Apple compilers and I can't reproduce it" != "fixed" in my book. I guess this is a regression in some other package between the releases of ghc 6.10.4_3 and ghc 6.10.4_4, and this was exposed by the rebuild. For example, there's a version skew between the version of ghc's "filepath" module required by the "directory" and "process" modules and the one available to the build, and the log warns that this is likely to cause compile failures. I don't say this is the cause here, but that kind of thing seems quite probable to me. @ryandesign: have you tried building 6.10.4_3 (or any earlier revision) since the failure of 6.10.4_4? I'm just going to revert to my previous version of the Portfile and hack PortIndex to make it think I'm up to date any time I install or upgrade something that would trigger a ghc upgrade. :-/ -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26035#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

''Exactly'' the same problem building ghc @6.10.4, Revision 4.

12" PowerBook G4, 1.5 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM

OS X Leopard 10.5.8

Xcode 3.1.4

MacPorts 1.9.2

I had the same problem. But it turned out that I had to download the fallowing version: ghc-6.8.3-powerpc-apple-darwin.2.tar.bz2 and then it says that some libraries are missing so it installed with: "port install readline" and then it worked at least for me ;-) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26035#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
