I'm trying to upgrade GHC to 6.10.1 using macports on a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.5.5. From what I can tell, I'm getting a segmentation fault from cabal-bin.
On PPC leopard you need to update to XCode 3.1 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/MacOSX http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2887

It would be very helpful to know if this solves the problem for you. I've had reports of similar failures on 10.4, but have not been able to reproduce them on a ppc/10.4 machine or a ppc/10.5 machine. Even with Xcode 3.0, it seems as if not everyone gets tagged by the error. Greg
This is possibly related to http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15142 and http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2380.
