I keep only finding a Java SQL interface on SourceForge when I look for HSQL. What is the URL? --- Charles Perkins wrote:

Hello Haskellians,

I have been looking for a way to get ghc-compiled haskell programs to talk to a PostgreSQL database, and HSQL seems to be exactly what I need... And what's more, it appears to have downloaded and installed with minimal hassle...

Alas (and I am sure this is a problem with my own lack of knowledge or misconfiguration of my system) I can't get ghc to link my program to the HSQL libHSSql.a library. At least I think that is the problem.

On my debian-stable system, with some packages and libraries upgraded to -testing so I could install ghc6, I downloaded HSQL 1.0 from sourceforge and then ./configured with --enable-postgress and told it to make and then make -install the HSQL package. When I put an import HSQL statement in my program ghc compiles it without errors but the Linking phase reports the following (my program name is EnvPassed:)

Linking ... EnvPassed.o: In function `__stginit_main_': EnvPassed.o(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `__stginit_HSQL_' Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I get the same error when I do a standard compile and when I specify the library to link to as follows: ghc --make EnvPassed.hs -o EnvPassed -lHSsql -L/software/HSQL/

(I had expanded and built HSQL in the /software directory.)

Am I doing something stupid? What should I check for this kind of error?

Any help would be appreciated.

Chuck

Did you try '-package hsql' options? Regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links
