Hi there, I am trying to install Hat under Ubuntu 8.04, but in vain so far. First I took the current libghc6-hat-dev (2.05-rerolled-5ubuntu1(hardy)) using apt-get. Trying to execute any of the hat binaries a get error messages such as: *snip* $ hat-trans Main hat-trans is not installed/configured for ix86-Linux. (Tried directory /usr/local/lib/hat-2.06) See your system administrator, or install it yourself from http://www.haskell.org/hat/ $ hat-observe Main exec: 5: /usr/local/lib/hat-2.06/ix86-Linux/hat-observe: not found *snip* This sounds strange, because I have installed v2.05, why are libs from 2.06 required, which obviously are not there - or should they? However, taking the hat sources and doing it manually yields following errors after configure and make. Though the hmake option '-ghc' should not be unknown! *snip* $ ./configure Configuring for hat... [ 2.06 ] -------- Looking for already-installed Haskell compilers: Looking for ghc... found 6.8.2 Looking for nhc98... (not found) Looking for hmake... found 3.13 I am guessing that you want to use ghc (not nhc98) to build hat. Done. -------- Configuration report for hat. (You can re-run configure to change settings before proceeding.)
