Description
Running the following command using MacPorts under OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66GHz with 2GB RAM:
$ sudo port install pandoc
appeared to go without problems (downloading, building and installing dependencies smoothly), until it yielded the following error messages and quit:
Error: ghc-bootstrap cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'i386' because it only supports the arch(s) 'x86_64'.
Error: Failed to install ghc-bootstrap
Please see the log file for port ghc-bootstrap for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_ghc-bootstrap/ghc-bootstrap/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: hs-citeproc ghc ghc-bootstrap hs-json hs-mtl hs-transformers hs-pandoc-types hs-utf8-string hs-xml hs-dlist hs-haddock hs-ghc-paths hs-http hs-network hs-parsec hs-text hs-tagsoup hs-texmath hs-zip-archive hs-binary hs-digest hs-zlib

Replying to larryv@…:
please Cc relevant port maintainers.
Apologies for not doing so.
ghc-bootstrapsetssupported_archs x86_64; you cannot install it because Core Duo CPUs are 32-bit. Maybe cal or andy can tell you why it’s 64-bit only.
Thanks. In the meantime, if anyone knows a workaround that would get Pandoc installed onto a Core Duo Mac Mini, I'd be grateful to know it.

The ghc-bootstrap port actually is a pre-built binary of a haskell compiler. Currently, it is x86_64 only, which is why the Portfile specifies supported_archs.
However, http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.4/ also has binaries for i386, so I suppose the Portfile could set supported_archs to i386 x86_64 and download the appropriate package depending on your build arch.
Is andy a MacPorts dev now?

Should be fixed in r104166. Can you run selfupdate and try again?
Speaking of architectures, we don't have a solution for PPC and PPC64 architectures…

This time, installation of pandoc failed at installing hs-pandoc-types, but ghc-bootstrap seems to have been installed successfully. Thank you on the latter front; and I'll investigate (and, if appropriate, file a ticket for) the hs-pandoc-types issue separately.
Thanks for the ticket; in the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers.
