  #2257: validate hangs in configure
   Can you attach the exact program (using nanosleep) that's being run, and
   the command line used to build and run it please?

Done.

   And can you check that `timer_delete` succeeds (it should return 0).

No time; have to run to an appointment.

bug in GHC master Makefile

2006-12-12 Thread Norman Ramsey
'make uninstall' silently does nothing:

: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10261 ; make -n uninstall
for i in   ; do   \
  if test $i; then\
echo rm -f /usr/local/bin/`basename $i`;\
rm -f /usr/local/bin/`basename $i`; \
  fi;   \
done
for i in   ; do   \
  if test $i; then\
echo rm -f /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`;   \
rm -f /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`;\
  fi;   \
done
for i in  ; do\
  if test $i; then\
echo rm -f /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`;\
rm -f /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`; \
  fi;   \
done
for i in  ; do\
  if test $i; then\
echo rm -f /usr/local/share/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`; \
rm -f /usr/local/share/ghc-6.5/`basename $i`;   \
  fi;   \
done


There's such a twisty little maze of includes that I didn't even
try to fix this one myself.  Presumably to one who knows, the fix
will be obvious.

ghci and terminal settings

2005-04-21 Thread Norman Ramsey
Folks,

I think maybe ghci is scrambling my terminal settings under Linux.
I hear if I send you some mail, I may get some useful information.

Re: trouble with Debian package ghc5

2002-05-28 Thread Norman Ramsey

  However, it seems you are right: whenever _some_ ghc package needs
  util, it will implicitly depend on libreadline being installed, even
  if readline is never really linked to.
  
  So, what can be done?
  
  The hot-fix is to install libreadline4-dev.

Done.  Works.   Thanks.

  I _could_ make readline a hard dependency of ghc, but this is somehow
  not satisfactory.  I'd rather like readline to be out-factored to its
  own package (I know, this would break other Haskell programs, but it's
  arguably easy-to-fix breakage...).
  
  Comments?

For a newbie like me, it would be useful to have a `virtual' package
ghc-util for `ghc programs that need util'.  This could then require
libreadline4-dev.  The key is that something show up in 
  dpkg --list ghc*
Otherwise the need for libreadline4-dev is not obvious to the amateur.

trouble with Debian package ghc5

2002-05-27 Thread Norman Ramsey

I'm trying to compile some Haskell code using Debian package ghc5,
and it fails to find -lreadline at link time.  Looks like a config
problem because hte library is sitting there in /lib.

I'm cc-ing the GHC bug list even though this looks to me like a Debian
problem.



Hope this info is what you need.

Norman
