perl5.8 build failed

[fmgolmedo@…]

I upgraded my Mac OS X to version Mountain Lion. Then I installed "XCode 4.4" and "Command Line Tools". Then I ran the command

sudo port upgrade outdated

and all went well. Finally I wanted to add ghc via macport

sudo port install ghc

and then I found the dialogue suguiente

Error: perl5.8 port for org.macports.build returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install perl5.8
Please see the log file for perl5.8 port for details:
    
Error: The following dependencies Were not installed: perl5.8
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port ghc failed

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

Can you fix this problem or tell me a solution?

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.
