Hi Judah,
libedit is simply missing. but ghci used to work with readline! Do I need to install i.e. http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/libedit-20080712-2.11.tar.gz as a static library in order to create code depending on libedit that can be run on machines without libedit? (This reminds me to the gmp and readline whims on Macs.)
Sure, if you're talking about a program that does user interaction with the libedit library, then I suppose so. But I don't expect this to cause many problems in practice, since - Programs compiled with ghc don't need libedit to run unless they explicitly depend on the editline package, and - There's nothing stopping you from writing and distributing programs that depend on readline instead; just install the readline package from Hackage. -Judah
