checking whether to use -liconv... setup: Unable to link against the iconv library. Failed to install darcs-2.8.4 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
What is actually going on here? Iconv libraries already installed with libc6 package. Running ubuntu, cabal-install-1.16.0.2.
Linux distinguishes between runtime and linkable libraries; you probably need to install the libc6-dev package to get the latter. (This is not a Haskell-specific issue; configure is using a C program to test the link.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
