This is characteristic of ABI mismatches between ports and ghc. Last I checked, ghc didn't work in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard, but if you have a (development/prerelease?) version that does
I'm using whatever came with the Haskell Platform for the Mac. But anyway...
then you need to rebuild all of MacPorts with +universal.
OK, continuing to move forward. Based on various error messages I have gotten, I did: sudo port -f install readline +universal ncurses + universal libiconv +universal Then I reinstalled the readline package, using Judah's incantation from earlier in this thread and adding --reinstall (and sudo and --global, in my case) to the cabal install command. Now when compiling my Haskell program I get: Linking pileonText ...

The exception was: ExitFailure 1 Now what? Thanks, Yitz
