The download links on http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.haskell.org/ghc/ for the new GHC 4.08.2 have somewhat (ahem) strange referents. (The RedHat 6 binary package gives me a picture of Haskell B Curry, the RH6 profiling package gives me a .dvi file of the dynamic semantics of the language, RH7 source RPM gives me an Emacs hugs-mode....) The original haskell.org site seems ok, just mirror.ac.uk is broken. Malcolm

Oops, retract that. The RedHat 6 packages all seem to be 4.08.1, not the advertised 4.08.2. Regards, Malcolm

There shouldn't be any links to RedHat 6 packages. I don't have a RedHat 6.x machine anymore, and so, can't make any packages for it. If you have a RedHat 6.x box with an older version of GHC already installed, just run rpm --rebuild ghc-4.08.2-1.src.rpm This should (with a little waiting ;-) produce binary packages for 4.08.2 running on your flavour of RedHat. Cheers, Manuel

We're providing the links for 4.08.1 since that's all we have, and a lot of people still seem to use RH6.

packages for it. If you have a RedHat 6.x box with an older version of GHC already installed, just run

rpm --rebuild ghc-4.08.2-1.src.rpm

This will only work if you install RPM 4, no? I couldn't find a way to make RPM 4 produce v3 RPMs, either. But never mind, I installed RPM 4, installed the source RPM, downgraded again to RPM 3, and am now building RH 6 RPMs, which I'll make available. One problem I had: the spec file doesn't have a dependency on the jade package, but it needs it for some DSSSL files without which the docs won't build. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | RSA, n. safety in numbers

True. I didn't know whether the src.rpm format also changed.

Right - there should be a build dependency. Cheers, Manuel

AFAIK it did not change. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
