There seems to be also "ghc-gtk2hs" and only "gtk2hs-doc" without any ghc prefix in Fedora Extras 6. > Finally, packaging Haskell libraries is a subtle business, because a > Haskell compiler has its own package manager that needs to be treated > properly, or you'll have a terrible mess on your hands where RPM and > your Haskell implementation have different notions as to what's > installed.

Can I use the hugs98-x11 with ghc or need all libraries used by ghc be compiled by ghc, too? Or is this a complete different package? > You should take a look at my cabal-rpm tool, which generates a clean RPM > spec file for Haskell packages that are packaged with the Cabal system: > > http://darcs.serpentine.com/cabal-rpm/ Thanks, I will take a look at it when I will try to build xmonad and its dependencies.
