I've built GHC with GhcWithInterpreter = NO. runghc is built and installed, but errors out with "not built for interactive use". Is runghc supposed to work with such a build? If not, why is it built at all? -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/runghc-and-GhcWithInterpreter-tp5768326...

No, it's not supposed to work, since runghc interprets GHC code. runghc itself is just a little shell script which calls GHC proper with the -f flag, so I suppose the build system was just not set up to not create this link in that case.

I have a binary called runghc under /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.10.1/bin in addition to the shell script under /usr/local/bin that references it. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/runghc-and-GhcWithInterpreter-tp5768326...

Yes, runghc is actually a small Haskell program that shells out to ghc -e. I filed an issue: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10261 Regards, Reid Barton
