Installing haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 under ubuntu hardy doesn't feel
ready for prime time.
1) ./configure depends on several ubuntu packages that are not obvious
(i.e. it says it needs the C zlib library but actually needs one (or more,
I'm not sure, I installed them all) of zlib1g-dev, zlib1g, or zlib-bin
(zlibc wasn't the right one). Then it wanted some opengl and glut libs.
I installed the ones that had ghc in their name, which caused a bunch of
error messages about mismatched magic numbers for haddock docs. Then I
finally got configure to work, and running "make" spewed miles of ghc
warning messages before crashing with
configure: error: editline not found, so this package cannot be built
See `config.log' for more details.
Error:
Configuring the editline-0.2.1.0 package failed
make: *** [build.stamp] Error 2
I guess I could attempt the install again and capture all the terminal
output, if anyone wants it.
