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?
Thanks!

I can't seem to get the latest source bundle to build (running on Red Hat). I run the configure script, then make on the source tree root, and ghc gives an error to the effect of 'could not load shared object file or library libedit.so.0'. I don't have root permissions on this machine so I can't install editline on this machine, but I downloaded the source, built in my local directory, then tried:
-Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory path to the libedit.so.0 library I just built.
Set LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH to your local lib resp. include directory when building. (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used at runtime)
Cheers Christian
-Hand editing the makefile in ghc's 'libraries' directory to add an -L[librarydir] flag to the ghc invocation that was failing.
Neither of these things worked - is there an easy way to tell the configure script that it needs to probe additional directories for these shared libraries?
Thanks all! -James Swaine
