I self-updated, right after I enabled the unstable trees to get  
access to the package. The OS is 10.4.7.


Cheers.

  Which OS version is this?  I cannot recall the kernel to OS  
version mapping.



However darcs 1.0.1 is pretty old; 1.0.8 also complied cleanly from
the source distribution, it would be nice to see the fink package
updated to this version (which some people are requiring) but I don't
know how to do it.


  Well, 1.0.8 is available for Mac OS X 10.4 running on powerpc.
  There are some nontrivial issues getting newer version of ghc to  
build under
10.3.  The version of darcs available for OS 10.3 is the newest  
version that

fink's ghc can compile.
  There are also some nontrivial issues getting -any- version of  
ghc to build

on intel machines.  So there's no darcs available there yet.

  Unfortunately, we don't have a "system-ghc" package.  So there's  
no way to

detect a non-fink ghc installation and use that to build darcs.

  Ok, and it's working now then?
