GHC / macports / Big Sur

[Sean Matthews]

It may be that someone has already asked this question, but I am having a problem (= it does not work) installing GHC using macports.

Pure vanilla Mac/macports, with a few standard installed packages, but deliberately as few manual interventions as possible.

Does the group have any advice?

Thanks,

Sean Matthews

PS this is what macports says:

r.packages.macports.org/stack

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Error: Processing of port ghc failed

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:

  pinentry-mac has the following notes:

    If you previously didn't have pinentry or gpg-agent installed  and

    pinentry-mac has been installed as a dependency of gpg-agent,  you don't

    need to do anything to use pinentry-mac.

    

    If you want to switch to the GTK2, ncurses or Qt4 based pinentry  program,

    please install pinentry with the correct use flags and  follow the

    instructions below substituting the pinentry-mac program  path with

    /opt/local/bin/pinentry.

    

    

    If you previously had pinentry and gpg-agent installed and would  like to

    switch to pinentry-mac, you will have to set  it as your pinentry program in

    $HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.

    

    Add the following line to the mentioned file:

    pinentry-program

    /Applications/MacPorts/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac

    

    

    Be sure to comment previous "pinentry-program" lines, for example:

    

    pinentry-program SAMPLE

    

    becomes

    

    #pinentry-program SAMPLE

    

    

    Afterwards, run

    killall -HUP gpg-agent

    

    or simply log out and back in again.

Dear Sean,

The mentioned log file (/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_stack/stack/main.log) may contain useful information in debugging the problem, I imagine.

Cheers,

Tom
