#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 | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Old description:

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

Nor did any other of the many combinations I tried of various suggestions in [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3121 GHC Ticket #3121] and Judah Jacobson's [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-May/011595.html May 2009 post] on the libraries list. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/631#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
