Error building GHC from darwin ports

[Gregory Wright]

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 expanded twice, which would explain what you are
seeing.

Best Wishes,
Greg
