Comment:
Just as a point of reference for anyone finding this ticket after running
into this issue, I also ran into this problem (sadly, it seems arch linux
does not even have any packages providing libutil.h). Unfortunately,
removing the `#include "HsUnix.h"` from `include/HsUnixCompat.h` gets me
past the initial configuration stage but now I get a different error:
{{{
src/System/PosixCompat/Files.hsc:54:5:
Ambiguous occurrence `setSymbolicLinkOwnerAndGroup'
It could refer to either
`System.PosixCompat.Files.setSymbolicLinkOwnerAndGroup',
defined at
src/System/PosixCompat/Files.hsc:75:1
or
`System.Posix.Files.setSymbolicLinkOwnerAndGroup',
imported from System.Posix.Files at
src/System/PosixCompat/Files.hsc:69:1-25
}}}
One workaround that worked for me (although obviously not ideal) is to
force the "portable" version of unix-compat with `cabal install -fportable
unix-compat`.
