Despite the error message above, gmp was installed without any error and it seems to be built for i386.

Which computer and OS do you have? The configure script says "i386-apple-darwin8.11.1" so it thinks you have an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.11. Is that correct?

It says /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib is the wrong architecture. What architecture is it? The "file" command should tell you. On my Intel Mac with 10.4 I have:

$ file /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib: symbolic link to `libgmp.3.5.0.dylib'
$ file /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.5.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.5.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Could you also show the output of

port installed gmp

and let us know if you are selecting any variants when installing ghc.

Sorry, I overlooked you already confirmed this in the summary of this ticket.

Thanks for looking into this. I include my responses to your questions below:

$ file libgmp.3.5.0.dylib 
libgmp.3.5.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

$ port installed gmp
The following ports are currently installed:
  gmp @4.3.1_0 (active)

I did not select any variants when attempting to install ghc.

Ok, that's fine. But this is not right:

checking for path to top of build tree... dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_ghc/work/ghc-bootstrap/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc

It's trying to use ghc 6.10.1 as the bootstrap version. But according to the portfile, that version is only used on powerpc. So somehow the +darwin_8_powerpc or +darwin_9_powerpc variant is getting selected. So that's why the ghc bootstrap you have is for PowerPC, which is why it's complaining that it can't use the Intel libgmp.

Try getting the full debug output, like this:

sudo port clean gmp
sudo port -d install gmp 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gmp.txt

If it still fails, you can attach gmp.txt from your desktop to this ticket to give us more data.

[florin.bocaneala@…]

port -d install gmp output

[florin.bocaneala@…]

So should I understand macports does not support libgmp for intel? Then why does the library file appears to be built for i386?

I attached the output as instructed. Thanks.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm sorry, my brain was elsewhere. I meant:

sudo port clean ghc
sudo port -d install ghc 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/ghc.txt

[florin.bocaneala@…]

I guess we made a little progress.

I attach below the debug output that you requested, but then, based on your suggestion, I tried specifying the architecture by hand (+darwin_8_i386) and this time it managed to pass the configuration step, and even most of the compilation. However, it faltered once again during linking with... libgmp.

Let me know if you need the whole debug output for building ghc with manually selected variant.

[florin.bocaneala@…]

port -d install ghc

I guess we made a little progress.

I attach below the debug output that you requested,

In the output, the line

DEBUG: Executing variant darwin_8_powerpc provides darwin_8_powerpc

means that the variant darwin_8_powerpc was selected. If you didn't request it in your "port install" command, is it perhaps listed in your /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf?

If you look at the other ports you have installed, are any of them using a powerpc variant too? Try

port installed | grep powerpc

to see.

but then, based on your suggestion, I tried specifying the architecture by hand (+darwin_8_i386) and this time it managed to pass the configuration step, and even most of the compilation. However, it faltered once again during linking with... libgmp.

That's bug #19747.

[florin.bocaneala@…]

For what is worth, variants.conf contains no variants (only some comments), and there are no installed ports on my system using any powerpc variant.

[gwright@…]

Duplicate of #19747.

[florin.bocaneala@…]

Just to confirm it: the new variant (cabal_configure_debug) fixed it although I still had to select darwin_8_i386 manually.
