[Haskell-cafe] problem with editline install
Andrew U. Frank
on it):
with cabal install and with downloading and runghc Setup.lhs configure
i got the same error:
checking for completion_matches... no
configure: error: editline not found, so this package cannot be built
See `config.log' for more details.
in the log i did not see anything helpful (at my level of understanding).
i could then install with synaptic because a deb package existed for ubuntu).
what did i wrong? thanks for helpful comments
andrew
ps. in this case a wiki would have been helpful. it would have been a less
intruding form to communicate than sending an email to the developer.
especially in the case i assume i made some error.

You probably need to install the Ubuntu libedit-dev package, which
contains the necessary C headers. Note that's different than the
libeditline-dev package, which is an old version of the library
missing some important features.
Best,

Do you have the editline (sometimes also called libedit) C library installed?
