Comment:
Now I tried to build GHC 6.8.20070913 from source. After three hours of
compilation I had to discover that installing still didn’t work. During
the installation of the base package, I received an error message saying
that the directory {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/base-2.1}}} couldn’t
be found. Obviously this was because the base package was installed in
{{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1}}}. I moved
the {{{base-2.1}}} directory to {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913}}}, and
replaced the {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib}}}
directory with a symbolic link to {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913}}}.
Then I ran {{{make install}}} again. During installation of the
ghc-6.8.20070913 package, I got this message:
{{{
$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/hslibs-imports/ghc doesn't exist or isn't a
directory (ignoring)
cannot find libHSghc.a on library path (ignoring)
}}}
However, when I checked for {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/hslibs-
imports/ghc}}}, I found that it existed and that it was a directory.
I tried a ghc --version with my new GHC installation and received this
message:
{{{
$PREFIX/bin/ghc: line 4: $PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913: is
a directory
$PREFIX/bin/ghc: line 4: exec:
$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913: cannot execute: Success
}}}
