#631: readline-1.0.1.0 not linking with GNU macports readline on darwin ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: osaunders | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Mac OS | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- I had some problems installing readline-1.0.1.0 on Darwin. I don't think it was looking for GNU readline among my Macports. In the end I did this and it worked: sudo cabal unpack readline cd readline-1.0.1.0/ chmod +x configure sudo ./configure --with-readline-includes=/opt/local/include/readline --with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib sudo runhaskell Setup build sudo runhaskell Setup install -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/631 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
