Hello, Im trying to install hat in GNU/Linux, and i got this error when running ./configure: Configuring for hat... [ 2.01 ] -------- Looking for already-installed Haskell compilers: Looking for ghc... found 6.2.2 WARNING: hat-2.02 needs a version of ghc >= 5.04. Looking for nhc98... (not found) Looking for hmake... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' since this will be removed in the future found 3.08 ERROR: hat needs at least one of ghc or nhc98. The confusing part for me is that i already have ghc located in: /usr/bin/ghc, and apparently the binary is found according to the first message, nevertheless, it exist with that error. Any help appreciated, Regards,

The hat-2.02 package was released before ghc-6.0 was available, and the method of detecting ghc version numbers changed between ghc-5 to ghc-6. Many other things also changed between ghc-5 and ghc-6, so it is not easy to get hat-2.02 to work with ghc-6. However, the development version of Hat works just fine with ghc-6, so I suggest you collect a snapshot of our CVS repository from here: ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/haskell/hat/hat-2.03-20050127.tar.gz Regards, Malcolm
