[Hat] installation problems

[Martin Hofmann]

Hi there,

I am trying to install Hat under Ubuntu 8.04, but in vain so far.

First I took the current libghc6-hat-dev
(2.05-rerolled-5ubuntu1(hardy)) using apt-get. Trying to execute any of
the hat binaries a get error messages such as: 

*snip*

        $ hat-trans Main
        hat-trans is not installed/configured for ix86-Linux.
          (Tried directory /usr/local/lib/hat-2.06)
          See your system administrator, or install it yourself from
          http://www.haskell.org/hat/
        
        $ hat-observe Main
        exec: 5: /usr/local/lib/hat-2.06/ix86-Linux/hat-observe: not
        found

*snip*

This sounds strange, because I have installed v2.05, why are libs from
2.06 required, which obviously are not there - or should they?

However, taking the hat sources and doing it manually yields following
errors after configure and make. Though the hmake option '-ghc' should
not be unknown!

*snip*
        $ ./configure
        Configuring for hat... [ 2.06 ]
        --------
        Looking for already-installed Haskell compilers:
          Looking for ghc...   found 6.8.2
          Looking for nhc98... (not found)
          Looking for hmake... found 3.13
        I am guessing that you want to use ghc (not nhc98) to build hat.
        Done.
        --------
                           Configuration report for hat.
            (You can re-run configure to change settings before
        proceeding.)
        You wish (eventually) to install the following components in
        these locations:
            (Installation directories are not created/checked at this
        stage.)
        Final install root:   /usr/local
        Hat   binaries:       /usr/local/lib/hat-2.06/ix86-Linux
        Hat interfaces:       /usr/local/include/hat-2.06
        Scripts:              /usr/local/bin
        Man pages:            /usr/local/man/man1
        Html documents:       (none)
        
        Now we check/create your build directories:
        Config directory:      targets/ix86-Linux
        Build directory root:
            /home/martin/programs/Hackage/hat-2.06/targets (exists)
        Object files build in:
            /home/martin/programs/Hackage/hat-2.06/targets/ix86-Linux
        (exists)
        Executables and libs:
            /home/martin/programs/Hackage/hat-2.06/lib/ix86-Linux
        (created)
        
        I am guessing you will build hat with:      ghc
        Executables need .exe suffix?               no  (detected)
        Testing for the glib library:               no  (using slower
        replacement)
        
        Adding Makefile config script to
            /home/martin/programs/Hackage/hat-2.06/lib/ix86-Linux...
        Adding build scripts to
            /home/martin/programs/Hackage/hat-2.06/script...    
            hat-trans
            hat-graph hat-stack hat-check hat-observe hat-detect
        hat-delta hat-view hat-trail hat-anim hat-explore hat-cover

Did I miss something? Thanks a lot,
