Dear team of Happy, Please, where to find the `make' instruction for Happy-1.17 ? How to `make' it from source on Linux, i386 ? I have ghc-6.8.3 installed, and Cabal. As I see happy.cabal, maybe, Happy can be `made' similarly as I make (with Cabal and GHC) my programs under GHC (?). So, I command cd ~/happy/happy-1.17/ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure -v --ghc --prefix=/home/mechvel/happy/happy-1.17/inst It reports Configuring happy-1.17... Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing: mtl >=1.0 Please, help, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru

Hi Serge,
It reports Configuring happy-1.17... Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing: mtl >=1.0
First make mtl, which is avaiable here: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mtl Thanks Neil ============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.credit-suisse.com/legal/en/disclaimer_email_ib.html ==============================================================================

I thank people who advised me on my recent request about installing GHC snapshot and Happy. The result of the whole investigation is as follows. 1. Installing ghc-6.9.20080907-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 (from binary) leads to ./configure --prefix=... make install ------------- ... installPackage: Saved package config file seems to be corrupt. Try re-running the 'configure' command. ----------------------------------------------- 2. To `make' a ghc-6.9 snapshot from source by GHC, I need to first install Happy and Alex. 3. I discovered that the simplest way to install Happy and Alex on my Debian Linux, i386 is to command apt-get install happy apt-get install alex -- because they are in the Debian Linux distributive. Now, `making' of ghc-6.9.. is in progress, I hope, it will succeed. Regards, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
