Problem compiling 6.8.1 extralibs
Hi all, i'm having some difficulties compiling the 6.8.1 extralibs on a Mandriva 2007.0 box. Despite happy 1.15 being installed (with the happy binary in /usr/bin/), i get the following error: Preprocessing library haskell-src-1.0.1.1... Setup: The program happy is required but it could not be found make[1]: *** [haskell-src/GNUmakefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ghc-6.8.1/libraries' make: *** [stage1] Error 2 Command exited with non-zero status 2 Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. :-) Alexis.
Run: ghc-pkg list See what it thinks about the status of happy. -----Original Message----- From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Alexis Hazell Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 9:02 AM To: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org Subject: Problem compiling 6.8.1 extralibs Hi all, i'm having some difficulties compiling the 6.8.1 extralibs on a Mandriva 2007.0 box.

happy is a program. ghc-pkg doesn't know about it.

Install happy from http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/happy-1.17 Note that happy 1.17 needs Cabal-1.2 and 1.16 needs Cabal-1.1.6. Alternatively, don't build the extralibs at the same time as ghc and install just the ones you need individually later. They're all available on hackage. Duncan

Ah, that would be the problem then . . . . i'm upgrading from GHC 6.4.2, and so have Cabal 1.1.4. Perhaps the relevant configure script should check to see not only if happy is installed, but whether it's a recent enough version?

*nod* That looks like my best option, at least until i install Mandriva 2008, which will presumably include more recent versions of GHC etc. . . . . Thanks for your help! Alexis.
