[htoolkit-users] autoconf buglet

[Shae M. E. <sh...@Sc...>]

autoconf of HToolkit failed on my debian/unstable system
I read the already closed bug and noticed that the HToolkit developers are
using version 2.53 of autoconf, but I have 2.57
I added the line
AC_PREREQ(2.53)
just under thet AC_INIT line in configure.in, and then autoconf and configure
went smoothly.

I configured with --enable-postgres only, but "make" wanted something from the
GUI part of the toolkit, so I ran "make -k" and then tried "make" again.  At
that point the PostgreSQL binding built successfully.  
It must be a dependency problem in the Makefile, but I haven't looked yet to
see what it is.

I've been able to query a database and get data out of it.
GHCi doesn't handle errors very happily, I usually get:

phase `E' failed (exitcode = 
Process ghci segmentation fault

or 

phase `C' failed (exitcode = 
Process ghci segmentation fault

PS. thanks to steele on #haskell for finding/fixing most of these bugs before I
did.
