[Haskell-cafe] trouble building 6.7 on ubuntu

[Thomas Hartman]

I have gotten ghc 6.7 to compile, but not with extra libs.  I'm on linux 
x86, ubuntu.

Can someone suggest a download date that worked for them, or how to fix 
one or more of the problems described below?

When I build from source (this is for august 2, unknown linux, as conal 
spoke well of it :) but I have tried with several other dates in august 
with the same result)

I get 

Linux linuxpt 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686 
GNU/Linux

The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
Which we'll further canonicalise into: i386-unknown-linux
checking for path to top of build tree... ./configure: line 1433: cd: 
utils/pwd:
 No such file or directory
./configure: line 1438: -v0: command not found
./configure: line 1441: utils/pwd/pwd: No such file or directory
configure: error: cannot determine current directory

when I try unzip src and extralibs I get 

(aug 15... tail of a large out file after >1.5 hours of configure; make > 
out.txt)

very weird error because when I execute /usr/local/bin/HsColour -version 
it doesn't fail but outputs 1.6.

Can somebody suggest a download date known to compile (with extralibs) for 
ubuntu? Or suggest a fix?

By the way I have also tried 

darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc

but this dies about halfway through (in the patch 10000s ) with libcurl 
error 18 or libcurl error 404 depending on the phase of the moon.

I'm currently trying a build from darcs checkout with get --partial. If 
this is the preferred way of doing a checkout due to "crapping out 
halfway" issues maybe it should be said in the readme. (to be honest I 
forget what the difference between a partial darcs get and a complete get 
is.)

Much obliged,

thomas.

Fwd: how to get packages for HEAD snapshot ?






oops -- meant to cc cvs-ghc

btw, 20070802 does run and does have libs included.

Thank Stefan, 

The latest mingw32 snapshot I see is 20070811.  I installed it also, and 
when I run ghc, it just crashes (WinXP).  Happens when I run it inside of 
emacs and also in a cygwin bash window.

Is that a known problem?

"ghc-pkg

Upgrade GHC; Cabal should be installed but wasn't due to a bug in that
snapshot.
