Error building GHC from darwin ports

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 there is a bug in darwinports 1.001 (I'm
using the version from cvs HEAD).

I think I may have suggested this before, but

     1. run 'sudo port selfupdate'

         This will ensure you have the latest portfiles and  
infrastructure.

     2. run 'sudo port -dv install ghc > build.log 2>&1'

         This will make a complete log of the build.  Send me the log
         and I'll try again to diagnose the problem.

As I said, I think a bug has crept into the released version of DP.
The haskell portfile is a good stress test for the system and  
occasionally
finds breakages.


Best Wishes,
Greg
