Yes, it's almost certainly just the search path ordering. The problem
is to get GHC to use the correct ordering. I've tried exporting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/local/lib
so that /usr/lib comes first. This doesn't seem to help. And it
certainly is true that in some cases you want to prefer the MacPorts
version, and in some cases you want to prefer the system version.
Do we need some more flexible options to GHC, giving users more
control on the ordering of libraries on the linker command line?
