Hello, I recently compiled and installed GHC 6.10.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, after having installed 6.8 from the repositories. However when I launched ghci I discovered that the arrow keys and backspace did not work! After some quick googling I came to the conclusion that editline support was not enabled. I installed any package I could find named libedit*-dev and configured and compiled GHC again. Still no luck. Looking at my configure output I see a line like this (paraphrased, I don't have the output in front of me right now):
Checking for ghc editline package... no. I really don't know what to do now. I have installed 6.10.1 on almost identical setups without any problem and I find ghci to be totally unproductive without command history and tab-completion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
