Brad,

Did you apply the recent X11 update from Apple after you compiled
ghc?
I did.

If so, you might try uninstalling, cleaning and rebuilding the
macports ghc.

I did try that, and got:

$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib ghci -package X11-1.1
 ___         ___ _
/ _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)

\____/\/ /_/\____/|_|      Type :? for help.

Loading package base ... linking ... done.
ghc-6.6:

'


I think I remember seeing something like this. I'll look into it some more.

This is after I uninstalled, removed the package, and recompiled ghc,
yesterday (that is to say, after I updated the Apple X11):

$ ls -lT /opt/local/bin/ghc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 7 Nov 12 18:36:50 2006 /opt/local/bin/ ghc -> ghc-6.6 $ ls -lT /opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/ghc-6.6_1 +darwin_8_powerpc.powerpc.tgz
-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin  59818580 Nov 12 18:36:14 2006
/opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/ghc-6.6_1 +darwin_8_powerpc.powerpc.tgz

Why does the Apple X11 always have to break things?

There is a path issue; you should not have to specify
DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH.
At least in macports, this should be easy to fix.
I guess so - I had a look at the portfile and it seems that the syntax
is straightforward enough, but I have no experience fiddling with
that. But that's a separate issue, right?


I already tweak the script that invokes ghc/ghci to find the libraries installed by macports. Tweaking it a bit more is not a big deal. But I would like to
understand the unknown symbol problem first.

Best,
Greg

Any other ideas?

In any case, thanks for your help.
