Maybe, your $(port version) is still 1.600?
Yes, now it worked:
$ port version
Version: 1.700
$ port info ghc
ghc @6.10.1, Revision 9 (lang, haskell)
Variants: darwin_6, darwin_7, darwin_8_i386, darwin_8_powerpc,
darwin_9_i386, darwin_9_powerpc
...
One more thing to keep in is this line "Variants:...":
Packages can have variants, and when installing, one can choose
between them, and even have several different installed
simultaneously, switching between them. This may make a difference on
a package like Gtk+. I get:
gtk2 @2.14.7, Revision 1 (x11)
Variants: darwin_7, darwin_8, no_x11, quartz, universal, x11
...
So when installing it, one should type
sudo install gtk2
Also, MacPorts is very careful using full paths to its own components.
This makes a very safe build. But it is a problem for libraries if one
wants to redistribute them: They are hardcoded to the MacPorts
location in /opt/ (calling each other). If one wants to make programs
that can be distributed either in /usr/local/ or as Mac OS X native /
Applications/, then the only way seems to be to do all the package
chasing.
Therefore, it might be best trying to use
http://www.gtk-osx.org/
But it will then only work on Intel Macs (or at least when I checked
it out).
