Hi Christian, Thanks for that tip.
Leaving out the space between the port and the version is a must. Specifying it completely might be required as well (this is the second line).
I tried the following: $ sudo port -v install [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---> Fetching ghc ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ghc ---> Checksumming ghc-6.6-src.tar.bz2 ---> Checksumming ghc-6.6-src-extralibs.tar.bz2 ---> Checksumming ghc-6.4-darwin-bootstrap-tiger.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting ghc ---> Extracting ghc-6.6-src.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting ghc-6.6-src-extralibs.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting ghc-6.4-darwin-bootstrap-tiger.tar.bz2 ---> Applying patches to ghc ---> Applying /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/lang/ghc/files/patch-configure.ac patching file configure.ac [...configure and compile output...] To me this doesn't look like it is installing the package from the binary archive that I already have - or thought I had. For whatever reason, "port install" seems to be set on compiling ghc 6.6_3, regardless of what version I specify. That is kind of annoying, because the build fails, and I am now without ghc. What do I need to do to get the old version back? _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
