Please remember to use WikiFormatting.

Yes, ghc requires perl5.8, but that version is most certainly still available and should still work. Please attach the main.log file from the failed perl5.8 build so we can see what went wrong. However before you do so I can already see that you had not cleaned before trying the perl5.8 build, so its results cannot be trusted. Please "sudo port clean perl5.8", then try again, then attach its main.log if it fails again.

     3{{{
    34sudo port upgrade outdated
     5}}}

    57and all went well. Finally I wanted to add ghc via macport
    68
     9{{{
    710sudo port install ghc
     11}}}

    913and then I found the dialogue suguiente

    2430I think the reason the problem is that ghc depends on perl5.8 and that this version of perl is no longer available.
