It looks like you're building ghc-6.4.2 using ghc-6.6.1. That is not supported. ghc can be built with itself or older versions of itself, not with newer versions of itself. We tried to put this requirement into the ebuild but it seems that portage is ignoring us, so we could put an extra check it to make it fail early. We've currently got: DEPEND="${RDEPEND} <virtual/ghc-6.5 !>=virtual/ghc-6.6 But clearly that's not working. Since you've already got ghc-6.6.1 installed I suggest you stick with that rather than downgrading to ghc-6.4.2. If you really need to do that, you'll have to start from ghc-bin-6.4.2 and use that to emerge ghc-6.4.2. Our new unified ghc/ghc-bin ebuilds that we're developing will not have this problem. -- Duncan Coutts, through me
well, I wasn't trying to downgrade at all. I was trying to install wxHaskell, which has this older version of GHC as a dependency.
(In reply to comment #2) > well, I wasn't trying to downgrade at all. > I was trying to install wxHaskell, which has this older version of GHC as a > dependency. Ok fair enough. There's not a lot we can do about it. The released versions of wxHaskell really do not build with recent ghc versions. At the moment we also cannot reliably express the dependency that ghc requires the same or an older version of itself to build, so downgrading does not work smoothly with the older ghc ebuilds. The new unified ghc ebuilds will not have this problem. So the solution if you really want an old ghc to build wxhaskell is to emerge ghc-bin-6.4.2 rather than ghc directly.
