Do the current packages include the dynamically linkable libs? If the apps are going to require the installation of the Haskell libs they depend on anyway, maybe having them dynamically link to the Haskell libs, rather than statically link them in, would save a good chunk of disk space, not to mention linking time.
They do include the shared libs, but the executables don't use them (to my knowledge at least, this of course *has* to be verified first). The last time I looked at using the shared libs there were issues with rpath, basically ghc put in a search path reflecting the build dir and not the install-libdir. This was probably in the 7.6 times though. One would hope this has improved since. The Nix guys did have a solution to this, and IIRC it involved rewriting the rpath after linking. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
