Further update to this - the latest patch did not succed with fixing at least my complaint. Where exactly should the various hi files get copied to? Where in the install script is the code that should do this? Bob On 3 Nov 2006, at 16:43, Thomas Davie wrote:

The reason that the package is not there I have discovered is that ghc-pkg register quits out because libHShat.a does not exist. Putting that in the appropriate place causes ghc-pkg register to work, but then you get errors because the hat-libs aren't in the right places.

I'm not quite sure where the hat libs should be going.

Something's up with hat-2.05 on my system. It hasn't installed its package correctly. ./configure, make, sudo make install reported no errors, but trying to build using 'hmake -hat' produces this error:

ghc-6.6: unknown package: hat

I don't know why the hat package is not installed on your system. But I did find some packaging errors that mean, even it hat was installed, it would not work with ghc-6.6.

Essentially, ghc now needs to know both the package name _and version_ when building the library, otherwise the linker gets confused and can't resolve names. I've pushed a fix to the darcs repo, and will probably re-roll the 2.05 distribution as well.

script/confhat does all copying of files, and calls ghc-pkg to register the library package.

That file never appears to try to copy anything to /usr/local/lib/ ghc-6.6/imports/Hat (which is where I would expect hi files to end up) or /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ (which is where I'd expect libHShat.a to end up, and why ghc-pkg register fails)... Should it do this? Have I got an odd copy? Bob

The libHShat.a library ends up in $DESTDIR$PREFIX/lib/hat-$HATVERSION/$MACHINE/ghc-$GHCSYM which should resolve in your case to /usr/local/lib/hat-2.05/x86-darwin/ghc-6.6/ and the interface files should go in $DESTDIR$PREFIX/imports/hat-$HATVERSION/ghc-$GHCSYM which again should resolve to /usr/local/imports/hat-2.05/ghc-6.6

Malcolm - problem solved! I'd missed one file on adding executable bits after the darcs get. Perhaps this needs a small script to set the permissions correctly after a get? Bob

You mean like sh start :-)
