Bug 171704 – dev-util/darcs-1.0.5 doesn't compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Timo Boettcher 2007-03-21 17:38:38 UTC]

darcs-1.0.5 doesn't compile, stating it cannot find ghc. after installing ghc manually, it works. probably ghc has just to be added as a dependency.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




root@box / # emerge -pv darcs

[Comment 4 Andres Loeh (RETIRED) 2007-03-22 12:21:26 UTC]

ghc *is* a dependency of darcs. So it's strange that portage wouldn't want to install it. Neither dev-lang/ghc nor dev-lang/ghc-bin are installed on your machine?

Also, what's the portage version you're using?

Cheers,

[Comment 5 Timo Boettcher 2007-03-22 14:53:08 UTC]

sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.2. seems that ghc-bin was indeed installed, jsut my environment didn't conatin it.

[Comment 6 Andres Loeh (RETIRED) 2007-03-22 15:14:38 UTC]

But this shouldn't happen. You can reproduce this problem, right?
ghc-bin installs into /opt/ghc/bin, but it also adds a file into /etc/env.d
that should make sure the ghc-bin is available in the search path. Even
more, ghc-package.eclass explicitly adds /opt/ghc/bin to the search path.
So there's still a bug to be found ...

Timo, can you still reproduce this one? If so, lets investigate further.
