Instructions for installing Helium 1.0 on Debian GNU/Linux.
I'm on version 3.0 of Debian, a.k.a, Woody.
I'm just a user of, not an expert on Debian.
1. apt-get install ghc5 libreadline4 libreadline4-dev
# Optionally, get some documentation for GHC; libsrc is source code
# for the libraries, which are useful documentation:
apt-get install ghc5-doc ghc5-libsrc
2. Download and unpack helium.tar.gz (640Kb)
3. cd lvm/src
./configure
cd ../..
cd heliumNT
./configure
cd src
make depend
make
# Now, become root somehow.
make install
4. Add the following lines to your ~/.profile file:
export TEMP=/tmp
export LVMPATH=/usr/local/helium/lib
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
5. Test the installation as follows:
# To put into effect the changes to your ~/.profile, start a new
# shell or issue the following command in an existing shell:
exec bash --login
cd /usr/local/helium/demo
helium Calendar.hs
lvmrun Calendar.lvm
# Enter a year.
# If the calendar for that year appears, installation was successful.
Unfortunately, readline history and line-editing commands
do not work at the /usr/local/bin/hi prompt.
One would think they would because before I had readline-dev installed
Helium refused to build. Oh well!
