Cannot link to readline

[Yitzchak Gale]

On Mac OS X 10.4, I can't link programs that use readline
unless I explicitly specify the GNUreadline framework
on the ghc command line:

 $ ghc --make  fooText.hs
 [4 of 5] Compiling FooText         ( FooText.hs, FooText.o )
 [5 of 5] Compiling Main             ( fooText.hs, fooText.o )
 Linking fooText ...
 /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
 _rl_initialize
 _rl_unbind_key
 _add_history
 _readline
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 $ ghc --make -framework GNUreadline fooText.hs
 Linking fooText ...
 $

 Note that this happens for programs that explicitly use
 System.Console.Readline, not in general ghc use.

 -package readline doesn't help. It only compiles if I say
 -framework GNUreadline.

 OK, I'll copy this to the libraries list then.

 Thanks,
