 Oh, well spotted. That was indeed causing the ncurses problem. I didn't
 think Macports would see it because it was under /usr rather than /opt.
 (It was actually a workaround for a problem I ran into a few months ago
 when compiling something that isn't in Macports.)

 I have removed the offending /usr/local/share/config.site file and done a
 'sudo port clean ghc' and 'sudo port install ghc' and the build gets much
 further, but eventually dies with a linker error. I will attach the new
 log file.
