ghc-6.8.1 under Solaris

[Christian Maeder]

Dear Solaris Users,

binary distributions for Solaris 10 ultrasparc and i383 can be found at:

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/solaris/versions/ghc-6.8.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/pc-solaris/versions/ghc-6.8.1-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.bz2

Both distributions (like those for ghc-6.6.1) require the following
dynamic libraries (among others):

libreadline.so.5
libncurses.so.5
libm.so.2
libgmp.so.3

(possibly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH on your system)

If configure only finds ./install-sh, you need to call:

./configure INSTALL=`pwd`/install-sh --prefix=....
gmake install

(or edit Makefile-vars after configure manually:

Cheers Christian

P.S. a build slave under Solaris would be quite useful (to improve the
shell hacks).
