Thank you!
But "ghc" has disappeared from MacPorts SW list.
Only "ghc-devel" can be seen.
Please look into it.

After what many would consider an unconscionable delay, I am happy to announce that ghc 6.8.2 is available from MacPorts.
The ghc 6.8.2 port is available for Tiger/ppc, Tiger/intel and Leopard/ intel. Users with Leopard/ppc are out of luck until for now, for reason discussed earlier on this list.
In partial recompense for their patience, users will get a ghc with more patches than any previous MacPorts ghc.
A few notes:
The file locking bugs #1992 and #2134 are fixed. Bug #1992 was a simple lock logic error and should be killed dead. Bug #2134 was the result of a lazy readFile holding a lock for an unpredictable time. There may be more cases like this one, and I would appreciate a note from anyone who come across a lock error during building.
Users on Leopard/intel must upgrade to 10.5.2 to avoid an OS bug which under unusual circumstances would repeatably (and mysteriously) crash the build. This was first noticed running the building in an eshell under Aquamacs. Archives were built without tables of contents because ranlib wasn't being run or wasn't running to completion. Builds in the usual Terminal.app didn't trip over this bug.
OpenGL support is built by default. It can be turned off using the no_opengl variant.
OpenAL support is disabled. Apple's OpenAL framework lacks ALUT support (needed for the ghc binding) but has name clashes with the freealut library from the OpenAL.org website. Fixing this is probably straightforward. If someone is interested, I can give them some pointers on getting started.
MacPort's ghc ought to always link with the correct libgmp (the one provided by the gmp port).
The latest versions of alex, happy, haddock and hs-Edison are also available.
Best Wishes, Greg
