Dear GHC developers, dear Cabal developers, To my report

...

I have `made' ghc-6.4.1.20050801

Without profiling, it `makes' and installs. For profiling, dm.cabal adds -prof -auto-all -hisuf p_hi -osuf p_o to its options. The commands runhaskell Setup configure --ghc --prefix=$dmSource/inst runhaskell Setup build

seem to work all right. Then, runhaskell Setup install --user reports Installing: /home/mechvel/dm/1.03/dm/source/inst/lib/dumatel-1.3 & /home/mechvel/dm/1.03/dm/source/inst/bin dumatel-1.3... Error: Could not find module: Dumatel with any suffix: ["hi"]

And the directory $dmSource/dist/build/ contains Dumatel.p_hi, Dumatel.p_o among its files. [..]

Simon Marlow writes that I need to install the later version of Cabal independently on GHC. I do have some difficulties with this, because Cabal-1.1.1 `README' suggests just to run `make install' as a root, I do not see any configureing possibility for the installation, and so on. But, in principle, what is the relation between Cabal and GHC installation? In ghc-6.4.1.20050801, `ghci -package Cabal' says "Cabal-1.0". I have read some of Cabal manual, about how to use runhaskell. But as I recall, I never installed Cabal. GHC has installed it itself. (?) Which Cabal version will be in official ghc-6.4.1 by default? If it is 1.0, then ghc-6.4.1 will fail with `make' for profiling. So, the user needs to install another Cabal version and to link it to GHC, and this occurs difficult. This is likely to complicate the usage of GHC (?) Regards, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
