GHC 6.8.1 Build Failure on Mac OS X Intel 10.4.10

[kenny lu]

Hi,
initially, I faced the same problem. i.e.,
 ghc-pkg: dependency readline doesn't exist (use --force to override)

Thus, I tried
./configure --with-readline-include=/opt/local/include/readline --
with-readline-libraries=/opt/local/lib

and build again, then I hit another error,



Preprocessing library readline-1.0.1.0...
Readline.hsc: In function 'main':
Readline.hsc:723: error: 'UNDO_DELETE' undeclared (first use in this
function)
Readline.hsc:723: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Readline.hsc:723: error: for each function it appears in.)
Readline.hsc:724: error: 'UNDO_INSERT' undeclared (first use in this
function)
Readline.hsc:725: error: 'UNDO_BEGIN' undeclared (first use in this
function)
Readline.hsc:726: error: 'UNDO_END' undeclared (first use in this function)
Readline.hsc:1089: error: 'MULT_MATCH' undeclared (first use in this
function)
Readline.hsc:1112: error: 'SINGLE_MATCH' undeclared (first use in this
function)

I am using fink instead of darwin port, I have readline installed.

zhuo-ming-lus-computer:~ luzm$ fink list *readline*
Information about 1733 packages read in 1 seconds.
     readline         4.3-1028     Comfortable terminal input library
 i   readline-shlibs  4.3-1028     Comfortable terminal input library
 i   readline5        5.0-1004     Comfortable terminal input library
 i   readline5-sh...  5.0-1004     Comfortable terminal input library


I am wondering whether I am using the right version of libreadline.

zhuo-ming-lus-computer:~ luzm$ ls -l /opt/local/lib
total 4584

Regards,
Kenny
