[darcs-devel] [issue979] 2.0.2 configure on FreeBSD fails with "Couldnt figure out how to call GHC.Handle.openFd"

[Mark Stosberg]

New submission from Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>:

I tried to build the FreeBSD port of 2.0.2 on FreeBSD 6.2 today, it eventually
failed as given below. The same symptom appeared once before on Linux, and the
following thread documents patches available to address in the Debian bug
tracker.  I'm not sure of the current state of things. 

Thanks again to the developers for your work on darcs! In continues to be a 
valuable and enjoyable tool to use.
