Error building GHC from darwin ports

[David Menendez]

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_rsync.rsync.
opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_lang_ghc/work/ghc-bootstrap/" appearing
twice.

Unfortunately, I don't understand the makefiles well enough to track
down where this is happening. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 with XCode 2.0
and darwinports 1.001.


Here are the relevant errors:
