     153COMPILING GHC ON DEBIAN ETCH 
     154---------------------------- 
     155 
     156This is a somewhat tricky procedure at present, because installing a new ghc may 
     157make old libghc6-* packages uninstallable.  The following procedure should work 
     158around that, but be warned it hasn't been tested in exactly this way.  Complain 
     159on #perl6 if you have trouble.  -rhr

     1611. Compile the new version of GHC from testing: 
     162    echo 'deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list 
     163    apt-get update 
     164    apt-get build-dep ghc6 
     165    apt-get source --compile ghc6 
     166    Don't install the debs yet! 
     1672. Remove old GHC packages 
     168    dpkg --get-selections|grep ghc 
     169    Check to see what you'll need to reinstall later 
     170    dpkg --get-selections|grep ghc|awk '$2 == "install" {print $1}'|xargs apt-get remove 
     171    dpkg --get-selections|grep libghc 
     172    Make sure no libghc6-* packages are installed 
     1733. Install new GHC 
     174    dpkg -i ghc6_6.6.1-*.deb 
     1754. Satisfy build-deps for GHC libs 
     176    dpkg -i ghc6-doc_6.6.1-*.deb 
     177    apt-get build-dep haddock 
     178    apt-get source --compile haddock 
     179    dpkg -i haddock*.deb 
     180    apt-get build-dep haskell-utils 
     181    apt-get source --compile haskell-utils 
     182    dpkg -i haskell-utils*.deb 
     183    apt-get build-dep libghc6-mtl-dev libghc6-network-dev libghc6-time-dev 
     1845. Build and install GHC libs 
     185    apt-get source --compile libghc6-mtl-dev 
     186    dpkg -i libghc6-mtl-dev*.deb 
     187    apt-get source --compile libghc6-network-dev 
     188    dpkg -i libghc6-network-dev*.deb
