Hi MacPorts Users, Is there better solution to this problem? Please see the original question regarding the conflict of MacPorts and Haskell. (I don't what to use haskell from MacPorts as I want to keep updated with the latest version of Haskell.)

I personally would not --- and do not --- chase the latest ghc, because a fair amount of stuff still doesn't build with ghc 7.10.1 and we in #haskell on Freenode keep having to advise people to switch back to 7.8 until the

I mean not "so old" instead of "latest". I am currently using this. ~$ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3 I had problems with MacPorts for Python and Perl. The general suggestion is to stay way from MacPorts for managing packages offered by other language platforms. As if I use MacPorts for managing packages from these languages, I am limited by what are available from MacPorts.

library situation settles down. Wait for the first Platform release with 7.10 (hopefully within a month), after which MacPorts will be updated to it (developer time permitting).
