ghc wants lndir to build, and lndir is normally included with X. If ghc doesn't find lndir, it attempts to build it's own, but ghc's lndir.c includes X11 headers, so you still need X.

I'll take this bug.
The reported problem will not occur with ghc-6.0 and any later versions, because the bootstrapping is handled internally by ghc's build system now. However, upgrading to ghc-6.0 can not be generally recommended yet, because it is likely to contain some severe bugs as the first release of a new major version. I have fixed the problem in ghc-5.04.3-r1, which is also still marked testing. Over ghc-5.04.3, it has the additional advantage that it also builds the documentation if USE=doc is selected. I'd appreciate feedback if it works for you now. Thanks for reporting.
Tested and works beautifully - solid work, thanks for taking it.
-> close
