I'm still trying to figure out how to do this on ubuntu. If this winds
up being a garden path I'll try on debian next, but at least I'm
learning a lot about getting haskell stuff built.

Anyway, since I'm on a virtualized linux box, I decided to get a fresh
start, unmounted my original OS profile and installed a fresh dapper
6.

I then changed /etc/apt/sources.list to be okay for grabbing .debs
from feisty. (No longer doing the build from source thing.)

apt-get install ghc6, ok from feisty.
  (Is there another repo that gets all the extra libs at one go?)

sudo apt-cache search -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 ghc6 | grep -i missing

libghc6-hdbc-missingh-dev - Integration of HDBC with MissingH, GHC version
libghc6-missingh-dev - Library of utility functions for Haskell, GHC6 package
thartman at linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>sudo apt-cache search -o

hoorah, my apt cache search command seems ok.


sudo apt-cache search -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 ghc6 | grep -i hsh
thartman at linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>

too bad, still no hsh in ubuntu repo.

darcs get http://darcs.complete.org/hsh/
  (Or should I have used something else?)

runghc Setup.hs configure
  same problems as before.

But starting afresh seems to have detangled the issues I was having
with packaging confusion. At least now I can apt-get install missingh

And some other dependency following is made easier.

Finally configure for hsh works.

But then

thartman at linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>sudo runghc Setup.lhs install
Setup.lhs: Warning: The field "hs-source-dir" is deprecated, please
use hs-source-dirs.
Installing: /usr/local/lib/HSH-1.2.1/ghc-6.6 & /usr/local/bin HSH-1.2.1...
Setup.lhs: Error: Could not find module: HSH with any suffix: ["hi"]

So, I seem to be stuck at this point.
