Hi Duncan, In response to your below, I am running "runhaskell Setup.hs configure -v3 --prefix=$HOME". Is v3 the current highest Cabal highest verbosity level? FYI basically I am running ghc that I just built a couple of days ago from the ghc source distribution. Vasili (I. Galchin) ;^) On Tue, 2008-05-27 at 15:33 -0700, Thomas Hartman wrote:
I think dist gets populated when you do build.
Actually we also stash the configuration in ./dist/setup-config so that gets created at configure time. Galchin's problem is that something goes wrong during the configure and so nothing gets created in dist. From the log it looks like ghc or ld are failing during one of the early tests we do when configuring ghc. To make debugging this kind of thing a bit less mysterious in future Cabal now logs in greater detail what happens when it calls external programs (when invoked at the highest verbosity level).

In order to save everybody on Haskell Cafe a lot of time, I "bootstrapped"
my ghc from Ubuntu ghc 6.8.2 using source from http://www.haskell.org.
