when I try to use runghc to execute cgi scripts in apache (on redhat linux), they all fail with with the message "HOME: getEnv: does not exist". I assume this means that GHC is trying to find the HOME dir of the user for some reason, and fails since apache runs as nobody. Could someone shed some light on this matter for me?
The same seems to be the case with ghc itself, not only runghc. Giving the flags -ignore-dot-ghci and -no-user-package-conf does not solve the problem, I still get the same error.
Alright, after digging the the ghc source I found this to be a bug that has been remedied in the current cvs HEAD. I guess it remains for me to install a cvs version then. /Niklas
