[Haskell-cafe] hs-plugins compile error

[John O'Donnell]

Hi,

What is the status of hs-plugins?  I recently tried to install the
version plugins-1.2 on hackage, using a Gnu/Linux box with Fedora 9
and ghc-6.8.2, but didn't get past the configure stage (see config.log
below).

The installation script is invoking gcc with a -V command line argument
but according to gcc documentation -V requires an argument.

Has anyone managed to get hs-plugins to work?  If so, what platform,
which version of ghc and gcc, and where did you find the hs-plugins
source?

Best wishes,
John O'Donnell

Hi Don,

Is this the kind of thing you mean (I'm not really a darcs user; this is
the patch created by darcs record):
