Please remember to cc the maintainer.

[eflister]

how do i find out who the maintainer is and their email address? i did post it here:

​http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/130

[eflister]

i'm on osx 10.5.8 intel, btw. i did try uninstalling ghc and then retrying both haskell-platform and ghc. both gave the same error + log as above.

[jwhowse4]

I am encountering the same error on an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, XCode 3.2.3 and MacPorts autoconf @2.66_2.

[macports@…]

May be related to autoconf problem others are having: #25509

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Cc reporter of duplicate #25531.

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

autoconf has been reverted to 2.65_1 in r69426, does the problem still persist after a selfupdate (and upgrade outdated)?

[oliver.saunders@…]

sudo port activate autoconf @2.65_1 worked for me.

[eflister]

i did selfupdate and then

$ sudo port upgrade outdated

this successfully did a ton of stuff, but then...

autoconf @2.65_1 is active.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

That's a completely different error while building a completely different port.

[eflister]

i see it's from gcc instead of autoconf, but it looks very similar and mentions configure, so i thought it was the same thing. opened 25552 for it.
