Build failure under Fedora 21

[Dominick Samperi]

It turns out that the undefined reference to libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0.so
when installing pandoc is not related to the use of CentOS or Debian
binaries. I get the same undefined reference when I try to use
ghc-7.8.4 compiled from source under Fedora 21. Here is the output of
'locate libHSprimitive':

/home/dsamperi/.cabal/lib/primitive-0.5.4.0/ghc-7.8.4/libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0.a
/usr/lib64/ghc-7.6.3/primitive-0.5.0.1/libHSprimitive-0.5.0.1-ghc7.6.3.so
/usr/lib64/ghc-7.6.3/primitive-0.5.0.1/libHSprimitive-0.5.0.1.a
/usr/lib64/ghc-7.6.3/primitive-0.5.0.1/libHSprimitive-0.5.0.1_p.a


So there is a .a library, but no .so (shared) lib in the build from
source. Can someone explain how to get the build process to create all
necessary shared libs?

Thanks,
Dominick
