ghc-6.2.1 problems with installation


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am using Mandrake 10.0 OE and cannot get ghc to install on my computer. I have tried almost all of the linux rpms from the haskell homepage and one other one that I got from somewhere else. I have tried the following:

 

[root@localhost Haskell]# rpm -i ghc-6.2.1-1.i586.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

gmp is needed by ghc-6.2.1-1

libreadline.so.4 is needed by ghc-6.2.1-1

 

I HAVE installed libreadline.so.4 :wall:

 

rpmbuild --rebuild (for the source package)

 

[root@localhost Haskell]# rpmbuild --rebuild ghc-6.2.1-1.src.rpm

Installing ghc-6.2.1-1.src.rpm

warning: user simonmar does not exist - using root

warning: group GHC does not exist - using root

error: Failed build dependencies:

happy >= 1.13 is needed by ghc-6.2.1-1

ghc >= 4.08 is needed by ghc-6.2.1-1

haddock is needed by ghc-6.2.1-1

 

well I dont have ghc 4.08 do I :screwy:

 

and the

 

./configure

make

 

fails here, I cant remember the error :cheeky:

 

the last one was reccomended in the readme file that came in the .tar.bz2 file

 

Any help would be much appreciated
