Hi all, Apologies if this has already been reported, or is a symptom of something already reported.
I downloaded the GHC source (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/ghc-6.8.1-src.tar.bz2) and attempted to build as follows, bootstrapping with GHC 6.6.1: ./configure ; make -j3 (The error manifests even without `-j3'.) This eventually results in the error [1]: ghc-pkg: dependency readline doesn't exist (use --force to override) But config.log reports: configure:2809: checking for ghc-pkg matching /opt/local/bin/ghc configure:2821: result: /opt/local/bin/ghc-pkg configure:2868: checking whether ghc has readline package configure:2879: result: yes Via MacPorts I have gmp 4.2.2 and readline 5.2.007 installed; I am using XCode 2.5 and gcc 4.0.1. The failure also happens if extralibs is built alongside GHC. I've checked http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/X86OSXGhc and googled the error message, but found nothing useful. If there any more useful information I could provide, let me know. -- Denis [1] Here is more of the erroneous output: == Finished recursively making `all' for ways: p ...
