Hello,

I attempt to test new build system on solaris/x86 platform and after
applying patch from here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2951 I've been able to boot
and configure the tree. On the other hand build alone fails with:

checking for unistd.h... yes
checking editline/readline.h usability... no
checking editline/readline.h presence... no
checking for editline/readline.h... no
checking editline/editline.h usability... no
checking editline/editline.h presence... no
checking for editline/editline.h... no
checking readline/readline.h usability... no
checking readline/readline.h presence... no
checking for readline/readline.h... no
checking for sign of read_history result on error... negative
checking for rl_completion_matches... no
checking for completion_matches... no
configure: error: editline not found, so this package cannot be built
See `config.log' for more details.
gmake[1]: *** [libraries/editline/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Do you have any idea how to proceed or what exactly to install?

Thanks,
Karel
