OK, I might try that.

By the way, can I make a request to have the hmake default be to use
the environment? I have to have my environment correctly configured
anyway, to get other things to work, and hmake isn't saving me any
trouble by asking me to duplicate this information in a different
form.

Now, it appears to be looking for 'ghc-pkg' in the library directory
of 'ghc' (rather, again, than in $PATH)

$ hmake-config add /home/frederik/.toast-i386/armed/bin/ghc
$ hmake-config default /home/frederik/.toast-i386/armed/bin/ghc
$ hmake -ghc -hat pointtracker.hs
sh: /home/frederik/.toast-i386/armed/lib/ghc-6.4.1.20050812/bin/ghc-pkg: No such file or directory

Fail: user error (Command (/home/frederik/.toast-i386/armed/lib/ghc-6.4.1.20050812/bin/ghc-pkg -l) failed)

Stop - hmake dependency error.
[1]$ which ghc-pkg
/home/frederik/.toast-i386/armed/bin/ghc-pkg
