I can't seem to get the latest source bundle to build (running on Red Hat). I run the configure script, then make on the source tree root, and ghc gives an error to the effect of 'could not load shared object file or library libedit.so.0'. I don't have root permissions on this machine so I can't install editline on this machine, but I downloaded the source, built in my local directory, then tried: -Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the directory path to the libedit.so.0 library I just built. -Hand editing the makefile in ghc's 'libraries' directory to add an -L[librarydir] flag to the ghc invocation that was failing. Neither of these things worked - is there an easy way to tell the configure script that it needs to probe additional directories for these shared libraries? Thanks all! -James Swaine

Set LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH to your local lib resp. include directory when building. (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used at runtime) Cheers Christian

That didn't work. My editline build is in the directory
/home/jswaine/libedit, with the actual library being in
/home/jswaine/libedit/lib and the includes being in
/home/jswaine/libedit/include. So when I invoked the configure script, I
did it like so:
/.configure LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/lib
CPATH=CPATH$:/home/jswaine/libedit/include
But still for some reason I get the same error. Am I doing this correctly?
Thanks!

use export: export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jswaine/libedit/lib export CPATH=/home/jswaine/libedit/include ./configure make (and but your own path first) Cheers Christian
That still didn't do anything. Here's the exact error text I'm getting:
error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [cabal-bin] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jswaine/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/libraries'
make: *** [stage1] Error 2
Thanks,

Aha! That *seems* to have fixed the problem with libedit.so.0. Now ghc is
complaining about something else:

This is a highly mysterious error. Did you clean the tree before rebuilding? Always a good idea to do a 'make distclean' if you're not sure what state your build tree is in. If you get this from a clean build, then please put up a complete log of the build somewhere and we'll try to diagnose. Cheers, Simon
