Problem installing ghc

[Ryan Schmidt]

MacPorts is designed to not use any software installed outside of  
MacPorts (with a few exceptions), hence manually installing ghc in / 
usr/local is expected to have no effect.


There are existing bugs on ghc filed in the issue tracker:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/query? 
status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&summary=%7Eghc&order=priority

Perhaps one of those is the same as the problem you are reporting.  
Perhaps this one?

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13039

If not, please file a new bug report and Cc the port's maintainer.
