specifying library locations to ./configure ?

[Duncan Coutts]

Hi,

Thank's very much for the tip, it compiled and works fine now. That flag
was all it needed (in combination with --with-readline obviously).

I've not tried compiling hugs on one of the super-computers yet...
That'd be a good advertisement for hugs. I can see the headline:

"hugs beats ghc on run-time performance - ghc team claim unfair advantage"
:-)
