ghc-5.05: unknown package name: readline gmake[1]: *** [depend] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/nfs/nlg/users/hdaume/ghc-cvs/ghc/compiler' gmake: *** [stage2] Error 2 106.14u 97.45s 5:15.85 64.4%
(sorry for the long clig), but the basic problem is this missing package readline. if i run ghc/compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace -v, I get the following packages:
data, hssource, net, text, util, posix, concurrent, lang, unix, haskell-src, network, haskell98, base, rts
but no readline.
now, if i *remove* the '-package readline' from that commandline, it builds properly.
is this needed?
I've fixed it so that -package readline should be omitted if stage 1 doesn't have a readline package. GHCi falls back to using hGetLine if there's no readline available, which is why the build goes through after removing the option. Cheers, Simon
