You might have the most recent haskell platform installed, but the version
of GHC that is actually being used to compile is much older.
I would guess that you have previously installed *something* using Macports
(or fink/homebrew), which depended on that specific GHC. Try removing it
via the macports.

OSX 10.5.8 isn't THAT old. You can definitely get a Haskell Platform 7.x

It's not a PPC machine, it's an Intel Machine.
The only Haskell Platform installer for Mac OS 10.5 that I have found
is at the bottom of:
http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html
It's labeled 2010.2.0.0.
I don't think I have any old port installations hanging out messing
things up (though I'll doublecheck). For one thing, /opt/local (where
port installs things) is not in the PATH. I've never used brew on this
machine,
I tried passing some parameters to use the compacting collector, and
to set the heap size, as suggested by this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13479538/cant-install-json-0-4-4-memory-allocation-failed
Unfortunately I get the same results (I set heap size to 4095MB, the
largest I'm allowed to set it).
Doesn't seem to matter whether the compacting collector is used or not.
