}}}
The problem seems to be that the {{{--with-readline-includes}}} and
{{{--with-readline-libraries}}} configure arguments are not passed to the
Cabal configure which is carried out during installation. The attached
patch solves the problem in my case, but I am not an expert in these
matters, so entirely different things may be called for.
Best regards Thorkil
