Hi Greg,
Thanks again for maintaining ghc in macports!
I tried installing ghc through macports. Unfortunately, the build failed with the following error message below. I'd be happy to send you a complete log, if you think it would help. Many thanks,
Wouter

I got the same error when trying to install ghc 6.8.2 from MacPorts on OS X 10.4.11/Intel. It seems like the stage2 build is picking up the wrong version of Cabal from my user packages left over from a previous GHC 6.8.2 installation. Deleting ~/.ghc fixes the problem. Maybe the GHC build should be changed to make sure that it doesn't use user packages?

I'll see if I can come up with a patch to the build system that avoids this. BTW, what version the Cabal in your user packages? I was never able to reproduce this myself --- I probably didn't stumble upon the right (i.e., wrong) combination of cabals. bw, Greg
