/devel/hs-haskell-platform install fails -- missing haddock

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64 GENERIC

Attempting to install devel/hs-haskell-platform results in the following error while configuring dependency /devel/hs-stm:
Code:

Interestingly, devel/hs-haddock is not listed as a dependency in the Makefile for devel/hs-haskell-platform.

Also, when I attempt to install devel/hs-haddock stand-alone, I get the same error while configuring dependency devel-hs-random:
Code:

So it seems that devel/hs-haddock cannot be installed if an installation of haddock is not already present and neither can devel/hs-haskell-platform.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Okay, so I found a file called haddock-ghc-7.4.2 in /usr/local/bin. Given the name it must have been installed with ghc as the first step of the devel/hs-haskell-platform. So, I created a symbolic link to the file and called it haddock. I then restarted the devel/hs-haskell-platform installation. This time it stopped with the error:
Code: 
===>  Building for hs-stm-2.4_1

setup: The program haddock version >=0.6 is required but the version of
/usr/local/bin/haddock could not be determined.
*** [do-build] Error code 1

So that's a little progress, but I can determine the version of program /usr/local/bin/haddock when I run:
Code: 
root:/usr/local/bin# haddock -V
Haddock version 2.11.0, (c) Simon Marlow 2006
Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008

Not sure why the installation cannot determine the version of it.

Still plugging along and hoping someone has an idea how to get past this error.
 
Okay, so I ran a
Code: 
root:/usr/ports/devel/hs-haskell-platform# make clean
for devel/hs-haskell-platform, restarted the install and now get the following error:
Code:

haddock: internal error: /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.4.2/html: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory)

So another small step forward, but still stuck. It looks like the installation of haddock is messed up. I'm beginning to wonder whether or not to de-install what I've done so far and start again.
 
You might try posting a link to this thread to the freebsd-haskell mailing list (haskell .AT. freebsd.org). The Haskell ports maintainers are all on there, so they might be able to give you a hand.

You could also try installing Haskell using portshaker -- there is an interesting project on Github, freebsd-haskell, which is like a ports collection for GHC and Hackage.
 
To recap, after the installation of lang/ghc-7.4.2 during the installation of devel/hs-haskell-platform, all hs-<*> port installations failed with the error:
Code: 
haddock: internal error: /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.4.2/html: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory)
*** [do-build] Error code 1

All these errors went away after I deinstalled lang/ghc-7.4.2, and reinstalled it selecting the Docs option as an additional option. I had previously only selected the Dynamic and Profile options.

After the reinstall of lang/ghc-7.4.2, I was able to successfully complete the installations of devel/hs-haskell-platform and x11-wm/hs-xmonad, both of which had failed when lang/ghc-7.4.2 was installed without the Docs option. Go figure.
