Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: ghc on Ubuntu Linux?

17 May 2008


      Josef,

      Did you consistently only use the Ubuntu package manager to install
and upgrade all "ghc" tools including the compiler, cabal?Or did you ever
build the ghc compiler from source on your system on top of a Ubuntu package
installed ghc like I did?

Vasili,
I have pretty much exactly the same set up as you seem to have. I
haven't had a single problem with running configure using cabal. In
what sense does it stop working?
Cheers,
Josef

PS I have always installed ghc first via the Ubuntu package installer
followed by a build from ghc 6.8.2 source!
