Anders,

I don't seem to have readline.h or history.h in that directory. I installed 
from ghc-6.2.1-1.i386.rpm off the Haskell website. Shouldn't configure have 
complained? Do I need the Haskell sources to use darcs? I didn't see that on 
the darcs site.

I've managed to get the sources I need without darcs but I thought I'd better 
report this as a problem.

Dominic.
