Re: Error building GHC from darwin ports

David, Try 'sudo port clean ghc' and then 'sudo port -dv install ghc'. The bootstrap compiler script is edited automatically by the portfile so it points to the proper location of the executable. If you interrupt the build for any reason and restart it (without cleaning) you can have the path expanded twice, which would explain what you are seeing.

I currently have GHC installed using darwin ports, and I've been trying to upgrade from 6.4_0 to 6.4_8, but I keep hitting a file-not-found error. Looking at the paths in question, I'm guessing the problem has to do with the path segment "/var/db/dports/build/ file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync. opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_lang_ghc/work/ghc-bootstrap/" appearing twice.

Unfortunately, I don't understand the makefiles well enough to track down where this is happening. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 with XCode 2.0 and darwinports 1.001.
