I have this in my ~/.profile so that I don't have to keep giving flags to configure for every single thing I build against MacPorts libraries: export CPATH=/opt/local/include export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib /Björn On Nov 9, 2007, at 6:13 , Paul Brown wrote:
Try:
./configure --with-readline-include=/opt/local/include/readline -- with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib
And this should work with the readline libs that you have installed via MacPorts. (Worked for me to build 6.8.1, and ghci works like it should.)

Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been reported, or is a symptom of something already reported.
I downloaded the GHC source (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/ghc-6.8.1-src.tar.bz2) and attempted to build as follows, bootstrapping with GHC 6.6.1:
./configure ; make -j3
(The error manifests even without `-j3'.) This eventually results in the error [1]:
ghc-pkg: dependency readline doesn't exist (use --force to override)
