That’s (2), thanks.  How about (1)?

Hi Simon,

According to the configure script, you can use the HAPPY env variable. e.g.

$ HAPPY=/full/path/to/happy ./configure

Hope that helps. Cheers,

Sebastian

What’s the approved mechanism to install multiple versions of happy/alex etc?  Eg I tried to build ghc-9.0 and got this:

checking for makeinfo... no

checking for python3... /usr/bin/python3

checking for ghc-pkg matching /opt/ghc/bin/ghc... /opt/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg

checking for happy... /home/simonpj/.cabal/bin/happy

checking for version of happy... 1.20.0

configure: error: Happy version 1.19 is required to compile GHC.

I so I have to

1. Install happy-1.19 without overwriting the installed happy-1.20
2. Tell configure to use happy-1.19

What’s the best way to do those two things?

Thanks

Simon
