Hi Duncan, In reality there is a complaint about no "configure" file. In any case, you really mean "autoconf" and not "autoreconf" yes? If I should run "autoconf", there is no configure.ac or configure.in file under the process directory! ?? Thanks, Vasili On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 6:48 AM, Duncan Coutts wrote:

Hello,

The "process" package Internal.hs references HsProcessConfig.h but this include file is not in the package "include" directory. Is this C include supposed to be generated? ??

Yes. It's generated by the ./configure script, which gets run automatically when you configure the package in the standard way. If you got the code straight from darcs then you need to run autoreconf first to generate the ./configure script.

how do I unbork it? Are darcs version of package same as hackage version of packages teh same contents? Regards, Vasili On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 5:01 AM, Duncan Coutts wrote:

Ah, you're using process-1.0.0.0 from hackage. It does indeed appear to be borked because it specifies build-type: Configure and yet contains no ./configure script.

Sorry, I assumed that you were missing ./configure because you were using the darcs version.

Duncan

To be honest I'd not bother. You already have the version of the process

package that came with ghc and there are no new releases that you need. That's why nobody else noticed the problem, because nobody needs to install this package, because it comes with ghc.

problem here Duncan .. when I run "cabal install haskelldb" e.g. "process" is rightly seen as a dependency BUT unrightly as not currently installed .... ???

If you really want to re-install it anyway then you could use the darcs version that goes with the ghc-6.8.x branch:

http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.8/packages/process

Obviously in principle the version on hackage should have worked. You'll be glad to know that hackage now checks that packages that use build-type Configure do indeed actually have a ./configure file, so this particular error cannot be repeated.
