84	generic source hp does not build with generic linux binary ghc	martin.k.tang@…	duncan	"I downloaded the following:
 - http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2
 - http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2009.2.0.2/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2.tar.gz

The ghc generic linux binary comes with libraries that are also included in the haskell platform.

On make, the platform script will happily report that:
{{{
  Platform package x is already installed. Skipping...
}}}

On make install, the platform script will unhappily report that:
{{{
  Error:
  The x/Setup script does not exist or cannot be run
  make: *** [install] Error 2
}}}

I've worked around it by commenting out the part in build.sh that skips packages if they're already installed, but I assume that's not The Right Thing to do."	defect	closed	critical	2010.2.0.0	Generic source tarball	fixed		tanimoto@…
