I wanted to try out data parallel haskell. I followed the instructions on http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Data_Parallel_Haskell/PackageNDP but I get the following error:
dom@lagrange:~/ghc/libraries> make make.library.ndp make: *** No rule to make target `build.library.ndp', needed by `make.library.ndp'. Stop.
BTW when I built ghc, I had the following problem with happy (and alex). It kept telling me I needed dvips but dvips is already installed. In the end I used --nodeps.
dom@lagrange:~/happy> rpmbuild -ta happy-1.17.tar.gz error: Failed build dependencies: dvips is needed by happy-1.17-1.i586
dom@lagrange:~/happy> rpmlocate dvips
