#84: generic source hp does not build with generic linux binary ghc
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: martin.k.t...@gmail.com | Owner: duncan

-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
I downloaded the following:
- http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-
linux-n.tar.bz2
- http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2009.2.0.2/haskell-
platform-2009.2.0.2.tar.gz
The ghc generic linux binary comes with libraries that are also included
in the haskell platform.
On make, the platform script will happily report that:
{{{
Platform package x is already installed. Skipping...
}}}
On make install, the platform script will unhappily report that:
{{{
Error:
The x/Setup script does not exist or cannot be run
make: *** [install] Error 2
}}}
I've worked around it by commenting out the part in build.sh that skips
packages if they're already installed, but I assume that's not The Right
Thing to do.
