Hello,
I need to double check: I'm talking here about new build system. I've invoked simple `gmake'. Also your builds is fine since editline seems to find readline header file which seems to satisfy it while this is not in my case.
Although my configure finds readline header files, this is not enough for editline. Both configure calls fail, but in my case the failure is correctly handled by the build system via touching editline/unbuildable
OK.
How have you configure to allow it to find readline?
It is just a wrong readline.h for libreadline (lying around) and I only called ./configure
I did just as usuall: bash ./boot ./configure --prefix=/tmp/ghc-new-build-system-bin gmake For boot I'm using autoconf-2.62/automake-1.10.1 and GHC 6.8.3 Thanks, Karel

bash ./boot
I don't know what ./boot does (since I only compile source distros)
./configure --prefix=/tmp/ghc-new-build-system-bin gmake
this should work with clean sources in the top-level ghc directory
For boot I'm using autoconf-2.62/automake-1.10.1 and GHC 6.8.3
so ./boot calls basically autoreconf? Cheers Christian

Yes, for the root of the tree, and also for any libraries that need it. In the new build system it also creates little Makefiles for each of the libraries. Thanks Ian
