Description Robin Green 2010-02-19 02:17:33 UTC
Description of problem:
The ghc Fedora package doesn't contain the ghc Haskell package, which contains the GHC API, and therefore packages which rely on it can't be built.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghc-6.12.1-5.fc13.i686 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
ghc-pkg list ghc
  
Actual results:
/usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d

Expected results:
/usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d
   ghc-6.12.1

Additional info:
This problem also seems to exist in the Windows package of GHC 6.12.1:

Oops - I needed to yum install ghc-ghc-devel
