I get the following errors while upgrading ghc from 6.4_6 to 6.4_8:

Hi Aleix,

What command did you run to do the upgrade? Also, what OS version are you using and are you using darwinports 1.00x or darwinports from cvs?

Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg,

Command: port -a upgrade OS: Mac OS X 10.4.1 Darwinports 1.0 (with "port -d selfupdate")

Mmmmm, I remember that I first run "port -a -u upgrade" to deactivate old packages, but I got the same errors.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Yesterday night I uninstalled ghc and installed it again. It's currently building (takes a while) at home. When I get back home I'll tell you if I get the same errors.

OK, let me know what happens this time.

Ok, ghc installed successfully. I don't have any idea of what happened. I guess you can close the bug. May be I had some file corrupted...

Thanks anyway.

Aleix,

Good to hear that it works for you. The simplest explanation of the error message you got is that the bootstrap compiler binary (or the directory in which it resides) was deleted. The darwinports infrastructure should never do this but maybe there is a subtle bug somewhere. Or perhaps some other process ran amok and killed the file (or directory).

Best Wishes, Greg
