Hi,
I'm getting a build failure when I try to compile ghc-6.12 from the
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.12 repo.
----
ghc-cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: iconv
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
make[1]: *** [libraries/base/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm using a ubuntu 10.10-64 bit system with libc-bin and libc-dev-bin
installed. I don't think the problem is a missing iconv library. Maybe
the problem is in the generated configure script by the new autoconf
version (autoconf version is 2.67).
I haven't encountered this problem, but I'm not using Ubuntu 10.10 yet.
Please report the bug on the Trac so we don't forget about it.
Cheers,
Simon
Maybe someone can help.
