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)
But config.log reports:
configure:2809: checking for ghc-pkg matching /opt/local/bin/ghc
configure:2821: result: /opt/local/bin/ghc-pkg
configure:2868: checking whether ghc has readline package
configure:2879: result: yes
Via MacPorts I have gmp 4.2.2 and readline 5.2.007 installed; I am
using XCode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1. The failure also happens if extralibs
is built alongside GHC. I've checked
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/X86OSXGhc and googled the
error message, but found nothing useful.
If there any more useful information I could provide, let me know.
