After doing: sudo port install GHC I get the fllowing error:

...

make[2]: *** [dive_1.lo] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gmp perl5.8 readline Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Any idea what this is about ? (MB 10.4.8)

Hello, Just yesterday (Friday Eastern US time) I installed GHC without (apparently) any problems. It took many hours to build and install, and over a gigabyte of temporary disk space and probably half a gig (give or take) ...for everything once installed: ghc @6.6_2+darwin_8_powerpc (active) perl5.8 @5.8.8_0+darwin_8 (active) gmp @4.2.1_4+test (active) The first time I tried it the build just hung because I filled up my drive. :-( I'm not a GHC expert, but I am curious to know far into the build process you were and if the dependencies were already installed or if they were installed as part of the 'install ghc'? --Doug
