[Hugs-bugs] re my previous posted earlier

[Victor Secarin]

It seems necessary for me to post again the "first message" mentioned 
here; I had just subscribed to the list, and it seems I sent the message 
too soon, and it was missed somehow; my apologies for that.

In there, I was saying:

=============================================================================================
Hello, all:


I am trying to build hugs on a RedHat 9 with the gcc-3.3.3.

I have tried first hugs98-Nov2003,  and then hugs98-20040130. They fail 
in the same way.

It seems to configure  well, and then tells me to do "make ; make 
install'. That however always breaks, ending in the following:

Stub Trex -> Hugs.Trex
env HUGSDIR='../hugsdir' HUGSFLAGS='' ./ffihugs +G 
+L'../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable_aux.c' Hugs.Storable
make[1]: *** [../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/hugs98-20040130/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2


The "Storable.so" is never built. If I try to build it by hand with "gcc 
-shared", it seems to work.

make -k does not get me past the fail point.

++++++++++++++++++++

The script BuildFFI is strangely empty: the command  cat 
src/unix/BuildFFI  produces these three lines:

#! /bin/sh

cd /usr/src/hugs98-20040130


Could something be wrong in hugs-package ?

++++++++++++++++++++

Installing  hugs98-Nov2003-1.i386.rpm yields segmentation fault.

Installing hugs98-Nov2003-2.i386.rpm seems to succeed. However, 
attempting to build after this still fails in the same way.

++++++++++++++++++++

One more note:  I have successfully installed first the ghc binary, and 
then I was able to build ghc with itself:

ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.2.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Victor Secarin
