I think I remember seeing something like this. I'll look into it some more.
That's a gcc problem. I think, HSX11_cbits.o should be built with gcc-3.3. (I assume your default is gcc-4.0.)
Try adding "-pgmc /usr/bin/gcc-3.3" to ghc's command-line.

P.S. I had to set DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH, before it worked for me
Actually, I've been able to build GHC from source using gcc 4.0.1 with no problems or special DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH. I've also had no problems running X11 programs (from xterm) via either ghc or ghci. I'm not sure what's going on here. If you are still getting the unknown symbol you can fix it by adding -lSystemStubs to the link. That should happen automatically if everything is building properly.
The build configuration does not seem to be the problem. The - lSystemStubs issue has happened before, preventing us from building gcc 4.x out of the box using the gcc shipped by Apple. (It is a sign that gcc itself is misconfigured.)
I think this may be a problem with the way the macports port is set up. Maybe try building it by hand, or using the binary distribution? (Although the Intel binary distribution is broken for X11, the PPC one works).
Gregory, one thing to check: if X11 was installed properly, there should be a symbolic link /usr/lib/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. If it's not there, then do:
The link is present. There might be a problem with having to set DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH, since MacPorts supports installing its files anywhere, including installs without administrator privileges. If this is a real issue, it is simple to fix, since the script that invokes ghc is already automatically edited to include the correct paths to the libraries on which it depends. There may also be problems for people who built ghc from source and then installed the latest X11 update from Apple.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
Also, are you running 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger)?
10.4.8 with Xcode 2.4.1. Does anyone know off the top of their head which Xcode was used to generate the binary distribution? -Greg
