Compiling a main program yields: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSrtsmain
I have installed the generic Linux binary package for GHC-6.12.1 from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1/ghc-6.12.1-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2
on Kubuntu.
When I try to compile a simple main program, like
main = putStr "Hello world!\n"
I get
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSrtsmain
The reason is, that /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.12.1/libHSrtsmain.a
is not readable by users.
I could fix the problem for me using
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.12.1/libHS*
