The FreeBSD port of ghc is broken in FreeBSD 5.3-RC2.
There is a problem with the libraries libm.so (wants
version 2, but 3 is installed) and
libreadline.so (wants 3, 5 is installed). Getting
around those problems with symbolic links, I then would
up with the following error message:


ParsePkgConfLite.hs:269:
