Ok I can see in config.log that I don't have editline. That sounds very suspicious. Mind you I'm not sure where to get it from for opensuse. I'll have a hunt around.
I found the editline package but now I have the following. I'm not even sure installing the editline package is the right thing to do
dom@lagrange:~/editline/editline-0.2> ./Setup build Preprocessing library editline-0.2...
In file included from Editline.hsc:52:0:

Sorry for the running commentary but you can always hit delete.
This looks a bit dodgy in configure:
if "${GhcPkgCmd-ghc-pkg}" --show-package editline >/dev/null 2>&1; then fp_cv_ghc_has_editline=yes else fp_cv_ghc_has_editline=no fi
As I suspect:
dom@lagrange:~/ghc> ghc-pkg --show-package editline ghc-pkg: unrecognized option `--show-package'
This works but configure doesn't seem to be in darcs so I'm not sure how to send a patch. Happy to raise a ticket. Let me know.
if "${GhcPkgCmd-ghc-pkg}" describe editline >/dev/null 2>&1; then fp_cv_ghc_has_editline=yes else fp_cv_ghc_has_editline=no fi

We seem to be back to a problem in readline again.

Commenting out this line seems to make things compile.
/* extern int el_get(EditLine *e, int op, void *result); */
Finally ghci works. I think I should get points for persistence. Dominic.
