David,
Try 'sudo port clean ghc' and then 'sudo port -dv install ghc'.
The bootstrap compiler script is edited automatically by the portfile
so it points to the proper location of the executable. If you interrupt
the build for any reason and restart it (without cleaning) you can
have the path
Hi David,
I think I have an idea of what is happening. Recent changes to DP
have moved the work directories to new locations (inside ${prefix}/var),
symlinked to the old location. This can mess up ports that unpack
multiple tarballs in the work directory.
I'll let you know when I have a fix.
Hi David,
I maintain GHC under darwinports. You're more likely to get help
for this (apparently DP specific) issue on the darwinports list.
What seems to be happening is that your bootstrap compiler is
not being found. Since this doesn't happen on my machine (10.4.1
with Xcode 2.1) I suspect
I currently have GHC installed using darwin ports, and I've been trying
to upgrade from 6.4_0 to 6.4_8, but I keep hitting a file-not-found
error. Looking at the paths in question, I'm guessing the problem has to
do with the path segment
"/var/db/dports/build/file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_r
