Hello, I'm having some serious "issues" getting GHC to run on Suse 9.2/x86 (or x86-64 for that matter, although I didn't really expect that to work without some pain and suffering). I've had no luck with 6.2.2, or any 6.4 release candidate. Here is a typical example: after doing a "./configure; make in-place", I get the following: /home/bstrand/haskell/ghc-6.4.20050221/lib/i386-unknown-linux/ghc-6.4.20050221: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Fair enough; "rpm -q readline" gives me readline-5.0-1.2. So off to the sources I go: cd ~/src/ghc-6.4.20050221 ./configure ... configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files. After reading through most of the GHC building guide (paying particular attention to section 10), I try: ./configure --enable-hc-boot After a few minutes, this dies with: ==fptools== make boot -wr; in /home/bstrand/src/ghc-6.4.20050221/libraries/base ------------------------------------------------------------------------ touch GHC/PrimopWrappers.hs make[2]: *** No rule to make target `System/CPUTime_hsc.c', needed by `depend'. Stop. make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bstrand/src/ghc-6.4.20050221/libraries' make: *** [build] Error 1 "./configure --enable-hc-boot --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised" fails with the same error. Running "distrib/hc-build" runs for much longer, but then ends with the now familiar: ===fptools== Recursively making `boot' in base haskell98 template-haskell unix Cabal parsec readline ... PWD = /home/bstrand/src/ghc-6.4.20050221/libraries ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==fptools== gmake boot -wr; in /home/bstrand/src/ghc-6.4.20050221/libraries/base ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `System/CPUTime_hsc.c', needed by `depend'. Stop. gmake: *** [boot] Error 1 gmake: Leaving directory `/home/bstrand/src/ghc-6.4.20050221/libraries' Having spent about 10 hours on it over the weekend, I decided it was time to call in the pros. So, any advice on getting a working ghc on Suse 9.2 x86 and/or x86-64 would be greatly appreciated.
