swest3:
The amd64 port isn't really there yet. It works unregisterised, but the registerised support need some more work (as you discovered). You also need a non-broken version of gcc (3.3.3 or 3.4.0).
I'd settle for unregisterised... it seems every time I run through the whole port process I see to do some new wrong thing each time, hehe. I'm really just in search of a working ghc implementation for my amd64, registered or not (the main difference is the use of architecture specific registers and thus performance right?). Does anyone have any unregistered amd64 builds that they've cooked up?
If you are running OpenBSD on your amd64, regular builds of 6.2.1 for amd64 are happening in the -current branch. You can download them from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/ghc-6.2.1.tgz You can also get a lot of the other common Haskell tools there too. -- Don
