Why there is no support for amd64 version in the port ? Any compile-time
errors or runtime errors ? Or didn't have any amd64 box to build it ? 

Anyways, I'm trying to build ghc-6.10.4 for amd64 on my 8.0-BETA2
(amd64) box and getting error about missing library 'haskeline' even
though I've installed it from its tarball. I'm using ghc-6.8.3 available
in ports to install it. ghc-pkg --global list confirms the presence of
library. Any ideas what I might be missing ?

Following is the configure line I'm using:

#v+
% LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" ./configure
  --prefix=/usr/local/ghc-6.10.4 --with-gmp-includes=/usr/local/include
  --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/local/lib
#v-

I'm using libedit included in the FreeBSD base system.

Thanks in advance

One day the King decided that he would force all his subjects to tell the
truth.  A gallows was erected in front of the city gates.  A herald announced,
"Whoever would enter the city must first answer the truth to a question
which will be put to him."  Nasrudin was first in line.  The captain of the
guard asked him, "Where are you going?  Tell the truth -- the alternative
is death by hanging."
	"I am going," said Nasrudin, "to be hanged on that gallows."
	"I don't believe you."
	"Very well, if I have told a lie, then hang me!"
	"But that would make it the truth!"
	"Exactly," said Nasrudin, "your truth."
