That still didn't do anything. Here's the exact error text I'm getting: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [cabal-bin] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jswaine/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/libraries' make: *** [stage1] Error 2 Thanks, James On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Christian Maeder <Christian.Maeder@dfki.de

That didn't work. My editline build is in the directory /home/jswaine/libedit, with the actual library being in /home/jswaine/libedit/lib and the includes being in /home/jswaine/libedit/include. So when I invoked the configure script, I did it like so:
/.configure LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/lib CPATH=CPATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/include
But still for some reason I get the same error. Am I doing this correctly?
use export:
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jswaine/libedit/lib export CPATH=/home/jswaine/libedit/include ./configure make
(and but your own path first)
