[xmonad] Re: Trouble building on Solaris

Figured it out ;) Posting this here in case someone googles the same problem. The issue was that I installed the unix package, which is bundled already with 6.10.1. See bug here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3060 On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 8:37 AM, Joseph Garvin wrote:

I haven't made any progress on figuring out what the problem is, but I did run truss on the configure and build steps. Nothing stuck out to me but maybe someone else spots something wrong, output attached.

I'm trying to get xmonad compiled under Solaris 10 and I'm running into an issue with the build step. The configure step appears to go fine, but I suspect is failing silently, because when I try the build step, it tells me I need to run the configure step first (even though I already have). I've installed ghc as a user in ~/ghc-6.10.1 and I'm installing xmonad to my home folder as well. Here's the configure line I'm using:

runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --user --prefix=/home/joeg/xmonad-install --extra-lib-dirs=/home/joeg/ghc-6.10.1-install/lib

Also, ~/ghc-6.10.1-install/bin is in my PATH.
