[htoolkit-users] Problems installing hsql 1.6 MySQL package

[tim <ti...@cs...>]

Hello,

I'm rather new to Haskell, ghc, Cabal and all that.
I'd very much like to do some CGI/HTML programming
in Haskell using WASH and a MySQL Database. Since WASH
doesn't support MySQL I thought I should give HSQL a try.

The hsql-1.6. package itself installed fine under ghc 6.4 on my PC
running Mandriva 2005. But the mysql package has following problem:

tim@jered MySQL$ runghc Setup.lhs configure
Warning: No license-file field.

- so far, so good (or do I need some of haddock, happy, alex ... ?)

 ... and so on ...

I hope somebody of you sees at once what's going on and takes the time
point it out to me.
