The web site lists these two places to get Debian packages (.debs):
ix86-Linux for Debian: http://people.debian.org/~bfulgham/nhc98
http://www-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Software/Haskell/debian/
--but neither link leads anywhere fruitful.
So, I decide to build from nhc98src-1.14a.tar.gz
on my Debian 3.0 ("Woody") machine, getting the following fatal error:
sh /n/cs/nhc98-1.14a/targets/ix86-Linux/hmake3.config
hmake-config: Warning: Config file not found:
'/n/cs/nhc98-1.14a/lib/ix86-Linux/hmakerc'
hmake-config: Starting new config from scratch.
sh: /usr/bin/ghc-pkg-5.02.2: No such file or directory
On my system,
/usr/bin/ghc-pkg
is a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/ghc-pkg
which is a symlink to
/usr/lib/ghc-5.02.2/bin/ghc-pkg
which is a symlink to
ghc-pkg-5.02.2
(Yes, I do that many symlinks is stupid.)
Please tell me the easiest way to get basic NHC installed.
