Has anyone had problems getting Haskell Platform installed on Ubuntu 10.04?
I've got GHC 6.12.1 installed via apt-get, and I've downloaded/untarred haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0.tar.gz. But when I run ./configure, it fails fairly quickly, with an error 'cause it can't build the "hello world" test program, complaining:
<command line>: unknown package: haskell98
Anyone else seen this? Am I missing something obvious?
What does 'ghc-pkg list|grep haskell' show?
/M
$ ghc-pkg list|grep haskell haskell98-1.0.1.1 template-haskell-2.4.0.0 haskell-src-1.0.1.3 haskell98-1.0.1.1 template-haskell-2.4.0.1
So, after seeing the above, I figured out that I had a ~/.ghc directory, apparently left from a previous attempt at installing haskell-platform. After deleting it, I was able to get past the ./configure step. I then just had to figure out I needed to install libghc6-monadcatchio-mtl-{dev,prof} and everything went swimmingly. Thanks for the clue! --Andy
