Re: osx conundrum

Maybe you'd like to install a virtual instance of OSX and test things from 
clean scratch, I'd expect any routine installation of GHC should work, then add 
macports/homebrew etc. to bisect the culprit.

Free VirtualBox should do, VMWare Fusion or Parallel Desktop can offer even 
smoother experience at some fees/cost.

Re: osx conundrum

Never met this issue myself (with currently osx 10.14.6 Mojave, and a few 
previous versions), I guess macports/homebrew or some other pieces aren't 
playing nicely with some others in your machine.

Checkout https://newbedev.com/libiconv-or-iconv-undefined-symbol-on-mac-osx 
 maybe 
helpful.
