Hi folks,<br><br>I just installed GHC 6.10.4 on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit, and
then tried to install the Haskell Platform from source. It built quite
a bit of stuff, with many warnings but no errors, and then finally died
with the error below.<br>
<br>To install editline, I need cabal, which is of course why I
installed the Platform. I read an earlier thread from May that said
that editline came with GHC 6.10.2, so the Platform didn't work with
6.10.3, but was soon to be updated. Now the <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html" target="_blank">web site</a>
for the Platform says it comes with 6.10.4, so I assumed it should work
with 6.10.4, but apparently it still has this problem of still missing
editline.<br>
<br>Am I doing something wrong?<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking editline/readline.h usability... no</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking editline/readline.h presence... no</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
