Before going to trace anything I've compared sparky and my setup and it seems I've had forgotten libiconv library in /usr/local/lib and LD_LIBRARY_PATH contained this lib. So I've modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH to exclude /usr/local/lib and now surprisingly base configure fails with:
checking for library containing iconv... no configure: error: iconv is required on non-Windows platforms make[1]: *** [libraries/base/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 see: http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/all/builders/kgardas%20head/builds/205/steps/compile/logs/stdio When I've seen the code it's not so surprising that it fails in this way, what's in fact surprising to me is that sparky passes belong this point: checking for library containing iconv... none required configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating base.buildinfo config.status: creating include/HsBaseConfig.h [...] See: http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/head/builders/sparky%20head/builds/91/steps/compile/logs/stdio I'm sorry for starting this #91 build on sparky, but I'd like verify that it does not build older source-code than my buildbot. So now, the question is: is GNU iconv really required or if it's not, how to make my buildbot ignoring it as sparky's buldbot seems to be doing?
