Re: wash compile problem

By the way, specifying --enable-package-conf= on the ./configure command line gives me the following error. I'd fixed it earlier and forgotten to report the bug: ranlib /home/frederik/arch/ppc/lib/Utility-0.3.11/ghc-6.4/libUtility.a .././GenPKG/GenPKG Utility --ghc-version 6.4 --version 0.3.11 --license BSD3 --author 'Peter Thiemann' --exposed-modules Auxiliary Base32 Base64 BulkIO FileNames Hex ISO8601 IntToString JavaScript Locking QuotedPrintable RFC2047 RFC2279 RFC2397 SHA1 SimpleParser Shell URLCoding Unique --hidden-modules --import_dirs /home/frederik/arch/ppc/lib/Utility-0.3.11/ghc-6.4/import --library_dirs /home/frederik/arch/ppc/lib/Utility-0.3.11/ghc-6.4 --hs_libraries Utility --package_deps haskell98 text | /usr/bin/ghc-pkg update - -package-conf ~/.ghc/powerpc-linux-6.4/package.conf --auto-ghci-libs ghc-pkg: unrecognized option `-p' unrecognized option `-a' unrecognized option `-c' unrecognized option `-k' unrecognized option `-a' unrecognized option `-e' unrecognized option `--conf' Usage: ghc-pkg register {filename | -} I think you may have to apply the following patch, it seems to fix things: --- WashNGo-2.4.6/configure.in 2005-06-23 05:36:34.000000000 -0700 +++ WashNGo-2.4.6-modified/configure.in 1903-12-31 16:13:22.000000000 -0800 @@ -82,7 +82,7 @@ dnl Checks for package management if test !

Actually I think there was an earlier error, it was refusing to write to package.conf for some reason. Maybe it should give up when this happens, so the relevant error message doesn't get buried?

Also, how does one install WASH without root access? I tried to specify the user package.conf, but if this doesn't exist then it looks like the WASH installer won't create it, and also its pathname is not obvious so it seems unfriendly to require users to specify the literal path...

Strange. The Utility package is also provided by WASH. Was there an error message in the Utility subdirectory? What is the output of `ghc-pkg list' afterwards? Did you run `make install' with sufficient karma to change the package registry? Eg, as root?
