Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Now I recognized that 6.8.20070913 is not the latest version but
6.8.0.20070916 (which appears earlier in the directory listing which is
why I overlooked it).
I downloaded the binary version vor i386-unknown-linux. During make
install I got the following message:
{{{
$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.0.20070916/hslibs-imports/ghc doesn't exist or isn't a
directory (ignoring)
cannot find libHSghc.a on library path (ignoring)
}}}
Now, at least the first message is correct since there isn’t even a
directory {{{$PREFIX/lib/ghc-6.8.0.20070916/hslibs-imports}}}.
When I tried a {{{ghc --version}}} GHC complained because it couldn’t
find {{{libreadline.so.4}}}. Is anyone still using version 4 of
readline? I created a symbolic link {{{/lib/readline.so.4}}} to
{{{/lib/readline.so.5}}} which in turn points to
{{{/lib/readline.so.5.2}}} on my machine. Now I can at least do {{{ghc
--version}}} and start GHCi and do some file name completion there. I
haven’t done any further testing.
