Re: [Haskell-cafe] Building Plaftorm 2010 2 on 64bit Linux

Hello all,

 I'm trying to build platform on Linux 2.6.32.22 #1 SMP Tue Sep 21 09:44:04 CEST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I've downloaded binary of ghc6.12.3 for the purpose, but ghc doesn't work. ghci does work, gcc does work, but for ghc I get:

ghc -O2 --make test.hs -o test [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o ) ghc: could not execute: /usr/bin/gcc

Even if I can easily compile gcc testc.c -o testc and run testc.

Could anyone point me to a solution? Helps found by google pointed me to try use option -pgmc gcc, which doesn't work. All other threads with similar issue stayed unresoleved. :-(

I'm guessing you actually do have good reasons for going this route, but I thought I'd ask, just to make sure ;-)

Why are you going this route, of manually compiling HP using a pre-built binary from haskell.org, instead of using your Linux distro's pre-built (and well tested) version?

There's no such a "package" I could easily install :-( It is CentOS based installation and I'm not the adiministrator so that I could not do even other things I would like to do. Dusan
