nhc98 1.14a build fails on Linux

6 Jan 2003

      Hi,

I just tried to build the latest nhc98 version on Gentoo Linux/ix86.
And failed. ;-)

The build was initiated with 

    $ ./configue --prefix=/usr/local/nhc98 +docs
    $ make

and it got this far: (Line-wrapping is mine.)

    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/src/prelude/ix86-Linux'
    rm -f *.hi
    rm -f    DErrNo.hc  
    rm -f /usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/targets/ix86-Linux/obj/prelude/DErrNo/*.o *.o
    rm -f 
    rm -f 
    /usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/script/nhc98 -cpp -c +CTS -lib -redefine
        -CTS +RTS -H32M -RTS -o
        /usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/targets/ix86-Linux/obj/prelude/DErrNo/DErrNo.o
        DErrNo.hs
    /usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/script/nhc98: line 600: 32003 Segmentation

    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nhc98-1.14a/src/prelude/ix86-Linux'
    make: *** [targets/ix86-Linux/compiler-gcc] Error 2

I am quite lost what to do and what to try. Does anyone have an idea?

One more thing: Is it possible that the build is screwed up pretty
much in case I do have a version of hmake installed already? (I do,
and hmake has been compiled with ghc support only, so far. I had to
take it out of the PATH to make the build get this far at all.)
