I just did a clean build of my cross-compiling GHC with --prefix set in the top-level ./configure call. When I run `make install` I get: "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/package.conf.d" update rts/package.conf.install /bin/sh: 1: /home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/bin/ghc-pkg: not found make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 127 make: *** [install] Error 2 Grepping the output for pkg: $ make install 2>&1 | grep pkg "rm" -f "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/bin/i486-pc-nto-qnx8.0.0-ghc-pkg" ln -s i486-pc-nto-qnx8.0.0-ghc-pkg-7.7.20130112 "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/bin/i486-pc-nto-qnx8.0.0-ghc-pkg" "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/package.conf.d" update rts/package.conf.install /bin/sh: 1: /home/singpolyma/bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/lib/ghc-7.7.20130112/bin/ghc-pkg: not found /bbndk/host_10_0_9_404/linux/x86/usr/bin/i486-pc-nto-qnx8.0.0-ghc-pkg is a symlink to i486-pc-nto-qnx8.0.0-ghc-pkg-7.7.20130112 which does not exist (and I see no attempt to make it exist), and either way it seems that we are installing with a cross-compile prefix, but not invoking with that. -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See http://singpolyma.net for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph
