Re: Help Creating Libraries

Simon, Problem 2 is now cured. I installed libncurses-devel and ghc is compiling away. I'm off to bed. Many thanks for your help. Should I suggest some text to the ghc build guide to say that you need these two packages?

Simon,

Thanks that's cured problem 1 but I still have problem 2. I've searched on "ghc lreadline" and the only advice I could find was to install the readline-devel package.

[dom@tility fptools]$ rpm -qa | grep readline readline-devel-4.2a-4 readline-4.2a-1mdk [dom@tility fptools]$

I did this but still got the same error.

OK, problem 1 is that you have to say 'autoconf' in fptools/ghc, as well as in fptools. The documentation may well be out of date on this point -- I'll check.

Problem 2, the readline thing is a regular gotcha that bites us at about weekly intervals. I don't understand the problem, let alone the solution, so I'll let Simon reply. I suppose it could be a consequence of problem 1
