[Haskell-cafe] trouble installing greencard -- -fno-prune-tydecls flag ( was Re: trivial function application question )

[tphyahoo]

Very, very helpful Chris; thanks; and thanks also to the many other helpful
haskellers.

Unfortunately, not so easy, for PCRE.regex. But hopefully this is just due
to my ignorance and there's a simple workaround.

At any rate, after darcs --getting as you suggested, I ran make, and got
various complaints. I installed haddock, happy, alex, hat, c2hs, and cpphs
with apt-get.

But was unable to find a deb repository for greencard, the final requirement
with apt-cache search.

I then downloaded the latest version of greencard 

wget http://www.haskell.org/greencard/downloads/greencard-latest-src.tar.gz

and ran sudo make install install-pkg

It chugged along for a while, but finally errored out with

ghc -package-name greencard -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fno-prune-tydecls  -prof -c
Foreign/GreenCard.hs -o Foreign/GreenCard.p_o -hisuf p_hi
ghc-6.4.1: unrecognised flags: -fno-prune-tydecls

I then googled, but found nothing for no-prune-tydecls or no-prune-typedecls
(thinking it might be a typo)

Anybody out there can help me get greencard working, so I (and all us
perlers) can start using PCRE from haskell?
