I'm trying to install ghc 6.10.3 for quite a while now on my

Preprocessing library ghc-6.10.3...
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: can't locate file
for: -lgmp
during the build phase. I went so far as to do:
sudo port -f uninstall installed
sudo rm -rf /opt/ /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/
/Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg ~/.macports/
and reinstall MacPorts from scratch.
Be aware that the MacPorts prefix is /opt/local, not /opt. There may
be other things in /opt, outside of /opt/local, which are not related
to MacPorts. Correct uninstall instructions are in the FAQ:

I'm reluctant to file a bug report because the last time I filed
one, it was an error on my side and not a bug in the ports
system and since a few bugs with this error message have
been filed but have been considered fixed, I presume there
is a high probability that I messed up. So I would like to ask
for pointers on where to look for things in the system which
might lead to such an error message, and which can be fixed
by myself.
Don't worry, I get the error too. This is the ticket:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19747
The ticket was for an error when prefix is not /opt/local, and I
fixed that, but curiously, when prefix is /opt/local, as it is for
most users, the problem remains.
