I have this in my ~/.profile so that I don't have to keep giving flags to configure for every single thing I build against MacPorts libraries:

export CPATH=/opt/local/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib

Try:

./configure --with-readline-include=/opt/local/include/readline -- with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib

And this should work with the readline libs that you have installed via MacPorts. (Worked for me to build 6.8.1, and ghci works like it should.)

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been reported, or is a symptom of
something already reported.

I downloaded the GHC source
(http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/ghc-6.8.1-src.tar.bz2) and
attempted to build as follows, bootstrapping with GHC 6.6.1:

    ./configure ; make -j3

(The error manifests even without `-j3'.)  This eventually results in
the error [1]:

ghc-pkg: dependency readline doesn't exist (use --force to override)
