Any RPM gurus out there who could knock this one on the head? Note it's not just the ghc script, there's a couple of other scripts that need munging (ghci, ghc-pkg, hsc2hs maybe). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Skaller (skaller) Date: 2004-12-13 23:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=5394 I can see it isn't supported :) However after the change to those two lines, the compiler works, links libraries, and the resultant binary executes correctly (as far as I can tell never having written any Haskell before .. :) So why not support it? I had no choice .. my root partition, containing /usr is 97% full.. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2004-12-13 21:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 You're trying to install the binary RPM using a different prefix? That's not supported, I'm afraid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=358032&aid=1084122&group_id=8032
