Hi Jeff, I think, there's only a problem when the GNUreadline framework is only in your home directory and when you want to link your own binary. Correct me if you also have a problem if the framework is globally installed in /Library/Frameworks. Indeed a framework entry is missing in the package.conf. But I doubt if a generic entry using $HOME would work. So this entry could only be set at installation time for a single user (and I don't know how). In fact, for linking we use the additional ghc flags: -optl-F$HOME/Library/Frameworks -optl-framework -optlGNUreadline These flags could be put in top-level script for ghc (in bindir). Does anyone have a better idea? Cheers Christian P.S, I hope it's ok for you, if I forward this to glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org, too Jeff Lewis wrote:
Hi Christian:
A few people here have tried using your binary Mac OS X build of GHC. There's one problem we've run into. The readline package doesn't work out of the box. It seems to be necessary to add `-framework GNUreadline'. This shouldn't be necessary. I'd guess that there's a missing `frameworks' entry in the package description.
