ghc 6.10.1: Cannot find the program 'ghc-pkg' at '' or on the path

I can't build ghc 6.10.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel with Xcode 2.5 and MacPorts from trunk (between 41540 and 41575):

Revision 2 of the portfile should fix this. It is a bug in ghc's configure script. Let me know if it works for you.

Correction: revision 3 should fix this. I missed some changes when putting rev 2 together.

Thanks, that error no longer occurs (though a new one does, which I filed as #17321).
