Wired-in packages not found

[Maarten Faddegon]

Dear Richard,

I tried rebuilding a fresh source distribution which has the same 
problem. I simply don't think template-haskell is included in the source 
distribution.

I also tried building ghc from the git repository. This time I had (a 
little bit) more success: ghc builds and has template-haskell wired-in. 
However, as I feared, some development in template-haskell's git 
repository is going on that is not compatible with the example I try to 
compile (ClassP is depricated).

It seems odd, though, that changing rts code would cause problems with wired-in packages. Have you tried just building without any edits and then putting your edits in?

I did give it a try however (repeating step 3 and 4 afterwards), but it did not solve my problem. There is no sync-all script in the source distribution.
