[Haskell-cafe] GHC / macports / Big Sur

[Tom Smeding]

Dear Sean,

The mentioned log file (/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_stack/stack/main.log) may contain useful information in debugging the problem, I imagine.

Cheers,
Tom
