Here is info about ghc:

Maybe, your $(port version)
You mean 'port version' (or 'echo $(port version)') :-).
is still 1.600?
That is right. One should from time-to-time run sudo port -d selfupdate I do not have the ports version of GHC installed. So the version of 'port' itself may affect the info about packages, too, it seems. In addition, one may have to download a new copy from the site. This happened when I made a new system installation (though restore from the Time Machine backup worked fine). Also, updating may break some code - libraries are dynamically linked. I used this for a compile of Scala (in Ada) which links to the MacPorts Gtk+ libraries. And now you tricked me to update - let's see if it breaks. Hans
