Greg, folks,

port install ghc worked after 7 hours or so, but then

Has anyone ever built pandoc with MacPorts ? Would appreciate your help.

Pandoc built fine for me on Mac OS X 10.5.5/intel with ghc 6.8.3, hs- ghc-paths 0.1.0.5 and haddock 2.2.2. What version of the ghc port are you using (i.e., the output of $ port info ghc ? Also, do you have more than one version of cabal on your system? Best Wishes, Greg
