Sorry, slightly off-topic. I wanted to install LHC to compare that to GHC and JHC, but alas: dafis@linux-mkk1:~/Haskell/LHC/lhc-0.8> cabal install -fwith-libs -flhc-regress Resolving dependencies... Configuring libffi-0.1... cabal: The pkg-config package libffi is required but it could not be found. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: lhc-0.8 depends on libffi-0.1 which failed to install. libffi-0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 Okay, so I installed libffi, but to no avail, still can't find libffi. The problem is apparently that libffi doesn't come with a .pc file, so pkg-config doesn't know about it. Does anybody know how to fix that? (openSuse 11.1, if that matters)
