They do include the shared libs, but the executables don't use them (to my knowledge at least, this of course *has* to be verified first). The last time I looked at using the shared libs there were issues with rpath, basically ghc put in a search path reflecting the build dir and not the install-libdir. This was probably in the 7.6 times though. One would hope this has improved since. The Nix guys did have a solution to this, and IIRC it involved rewriting the rpath after linking. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ arch-haskell mailing list arch-haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arch-haskell
