Hello, I have tried to comment out the check that seems to hang in your case in configure.ac like this:
hunk ./configure.ac 1212 -FP_CHECK_TIMER_CREATE +dnl FP_CHECK_TIMER_CREATE (configure.ac is a m4 macro program, I believe, and dnl means skip the rest of the line.) In the resulting validate run, this check is not carried out. So the hanging wil presumably be eliminated. But whether any ill effects of leaving out this check will surface, I cannot tell. You may wish to study the FP_CHECK_TIMER_CREATE macro function in aclocal.m4 to, perhaps, set some flags by hand, if needed.

Right now I can't do a thing because ./configure hangs... > > > Norman > > _______________________________________________ > Cvs-ghc mailing list > Cvs-ghc@haskell.org > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc > _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list Cvs-ghc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
