Hi, I'm having some trouble building pugs.
GHC 6.10.1 installed OK, as did cabal-install and all its
dependencies, but cabal install pugs dies, at trying to build
haskeline-0.6.1.2.
apparently IConv.hsc is including h_iconv.h which has an error.
AFter the build I try find / -name IConv.hsc but
I've got pugs installed now. I had to tell cabal where I installed my
aftermarket libraries:
pinky ~/pugs $ cabal install pugs --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib
--extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/include
