See the ghc-x11 package for a, IMHO, more elegant solution. This appears to be a more general issue however. Any package that declares in its *.cabal file "build-type: Configure" is going to need CONFIG_SHELL and/or SHELL in the environment. See additionally the proposed ghc-sdl, ghc-sdl-image, ghc-sdl-mixer, and ghc-old-time patches. Perhaps we could patch haskell-build-system to export appropriate CONFIG_SHELL and SHELL variables if it sees a "configure" file in the top-level source directory. WDYT? Would you like to send a patch? `~Eric
