It sound like either you don't have readline installed, or the GHC build didn't
detect it. Do you have readline? (the real GNU readline, not Apple's version).
I have GNU readline 5.1 installed through darwinports. As for the GHC
build detecting it I wouldn't know. Rerunning ./configure produces the
following lines mentioning readline (note that I have already built
and installed GHC 6.6 and have it in the path):
checking whether ghc has readline package... no
checking readline/readline.h usability... yes
checking readline/readline.h presence... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
checking readline/history.h usability... yes
checking readline/history.h presence... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
configure: configuring in readline
checking for readline in -lreadline... yes
checking for rl_readline_version in -lreadline... no
config.status: creating readline.buildinfo
config.status: creating include/HsReadlineConfig.h
config.status: include/HsReadlineConfig.h is unchanged
I don't know what to make of the above. Thanks,
Bjorn Buckwalter
