Hi Greg,
I have just been trying to install ghc 6.6 using Darwin Ports, but the search facility can't find ghc-6.6. :
sudo port selfupdate DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.320 The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated selfupdate done!
dhcp2940:~ cmb21$ port search ghc ghc lang/ghc 6.4.2 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System ghc-devel lang/ghc-devel 6.5 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (development version)
dhcp2940:~ cmb21$
Am I doing something wrong?
No, just give the servers a few hours to run their update scripts. Then the new portfiles will be available by selfupdate. (I confess I do not know how often these days the scripts run, but it is at least a couple of times per day, IIRC.) If by, say, 0000 UTC 28 Oct 2006 you don't see the new portfiles, let me know. Something might be wacky with the server. Sorry for the delay. Best Wishes, Greg
Kind regards,
Chris Brown,

Hi,
GHC 6.6 is now available for OS X systems on both Intel and PowerPC processors using the MacPorts infrastructure.
The compiler is built from source, using a binary bootstrap compiler. OS X versions 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger) are supported for PowerPC processors; for Intel processors, version 10.4.
MacPorts (formerly Darwinports) is a packaging system for managing builds of unix-compatible software on OS X. For more information on MacPorts, see
A new ghc-devel port will soon be available for those who just have to live on the bleeding edge.
Best Wishes, Greg
