Error building ghc 6.4 under os x

Hi Jeffrey,
Using the darwinports infrastructure we successfully built ghc-6.4
using ghc-6.2.2;
you might look at the port file to get an idea of how the build
procedure had to be arranged
to make it work. (The port file is a tcl script but it is pretty
self-explanatory which
parts specify the arguments to configure, etc.) Look at http://
darwinports.opendarwin.org
for more information.
Or just download and install the darwinports system and type
sudo port install ghc
and you'll get a build from source. It takes about 4 hours on a 1.5
GHz powerbook G4.
For a good time, specify the verbose debugging flags and you can
watch the build go by:
sudo port -dv install ghc
Note that you should be using Xcode 1.5 with all the updates,
including the gcc update
from the end of 2004. You might also have to upgrade to gnu make
3.80 to avoid a bug
in gmake 3.79 which can cause gmake to fall into an infinite loop.
The darwinports
build takes care of this for you.
Best Wishes,
Greg
