Hi folks,
I just installed GHC 6.10.4 on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit, and
then tried to install the Haskell Platform from source. It built quite
a bit of stuff, with many warnings but no errors, and then finally died
with the error below.
To install editline, I need cabal, which is of course why I
installed the Platform. I read an earlier thread from May that said
that editline came with GHC 6.10.2, so the Platform didn't work with
6.10.3, but was soon to be updated. Now the web site
for the Platform says it comes with 6.10.4, so I assumed it should work
with 6.10.4, but apparently it still has this problem of still missing
editline.
Am I doing something wrong?
