[Haskell-cafe] trying to install gutsy's libghc6-mtl-dev from source on feisty

[Thomas Hartman]

did you have a look at the pupeno blog link? He suggests using fakeroot 
apt-get source build. 

Not sure why the fakeroot, but perhaps it makes a difference.

yea, i built the deb from gutsy's deb-src repository using apt-get source 
--build.  i am trying to figure out why that deb that i build doesn't work

you may want to generate the .deb rather than take the deb that was 
packaged for gutsy.
