I've tried to do cabal install readline on Snow Leopard with MacPorts and it fails with the infamous:
$ cabal install readline ... checking for GNUreadline.framework... checking for readline... no checking for tputs in -lncurses... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... yes checking for rl_readline_version... yes checking for rl_begin_undo_group... no configure: error: readline not found, so this package cannot be built See `config.log' for more details. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: readline-1.0.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1
Googilng shows the usual explanation that Mac'y broken clone interferes; yet I do have MacPorts and readline 6 there. So I try, per fixes recommended,
$ cabal install readline --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include --extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib ... checking for rl_readline_version... yes checking for rl_begin_undo_group... no ... -- same result.
Downloaded the package and do configure manually:
./configure --with-readline-includes=/opt/local/include --with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib
You should use: cabal install readline --configure-option=--with-readline-includes=/opt/local/include --configure-option=--with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib Hope that helps, -Judah
