This isn't a ghc specific question as I've just found a similar problem with gcc, but I was hoping someone here could lend me a hand...I recently installed RedHat 7.2 on my x86 laptop and then immediately installed ghc 5.02.3 from rpm. Compilation works fine as does interpretation but linking doesn't and it seems to be a problem with ld. It complains "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc". A similar thing happens in C, except in that ld cannot find -lc. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what this means and how to fix it (I'm not a *nix hacker by any means).
I've attached outputs from ghc and gcc when run with -v; the important
error is at the very bottom. The test programs where, for haskell, "main
= print 5" and for c "int main() { printf("Hello world"); }".
Thanks for any help!
