[darcs-users] darcs on OS X, darwinports

[Jason Miller]

Can anyone hint at how to install darcs on OS X 10.4 via  
darwinports.  An install of the binary seemed to work OK on my G5,  
but it's not working on my G4.  Everything seems to go all right  
until I hit GHC.  The I get:

[snip]
Canonicalised to: powerpc-apple-darwin
checking for path to top of build tree... /opt/local/var/db/dports/ 
build/ 
file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdat 
e_dports_lang_ghc/work/ghc-6.4
checking for ghc... no
checking for nhc... no
checking for nhc98... no
checking for hbc... no
configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files.

I've downloaded and attempted to install ghc 6.4.1 binary for OS X,  
but it dies with the following inexplicable error:

[snip]
if test -d share/html ; then cp -r share/html/* /usr/local/share/ 
ghc-6.4.1/html ; fi
for i in share/*.ps; do \
         cp $i /usr/local/share/ghc-6.4.1 ; \
done
cp: share/*.ps: No such file or directory

These tow problems aren't related, but I'd like to know how to get  
darcs running on my server and in a way that I can use apache to  
point people to repositories.  (It's not clear how to do this when  
installing from the binary available at the darcs home.)

Thanks in advance for any help.
