Hello Haskell people,
 

I have been trying to build hmake 3.12 using ghc-6.6 on a Fedora Core Linux running on a dual 64-bit Opteron machine. However, I had the following error related to the readline library:
 

----

/home/t-alexer/packages/hmake-3.12/script/hmake -hc=ghc HInteractive -d/home/t-alexer/packages/hmake-3.12/targets/x86_64-Linux/obj/interpreter \

         -i../hmake  -package util -package base -DUSE_READLINE=1 -lreadline -lncurses

 

Warning: package(s) util not available (according to ghc-pkg)

MkProg: Can't find module Readline in user directories

        .

        ../hmake

  Or in installed libraries/packages at

        /home/simonmar/fp/lib/x86_64-unknown-linux/ghc-6.6/imports

        /home/simonmar/fp/lib/x86_64-unknown-linux/ghc-6.6/imports

  Asked for by: SimpleLineEditor.hs

  Fix using the -I, -P, or -package flags.

 

Stop - hmake dependency error.

I googled for this error and I saw the following thread in which Malcolm suggested having a fix.

 

http://www.nabble.com/hmake-and-GHC-6.6-t2531880.html

 

I tried to locate hmake's repository but to no avail. There is no link to it from www.haskell.org/hmake and the hmake in the nhc repository is the same as the hmake I downloaded.

 

I will appreciate any help you can offer.

 

Cheers,

 

Alexey

P.S. A related question, has any of you tried to build ghc using hat? I am trying to do this to study ghc's internals
