I know, GHCi was always tricky. But running LLVM from GHCi is really cool 
and with my current setup with LLVM-3.0 it works!

I have now recorded my pkg-config attempts with git:
    http://code.haskell.org/~thielema/llvm-3.0-pkg-config/

I am working with Ubuntu 12.04 and the llvm-3.0-dev package.

Please follow the instructions of INSTALL.md.

My llvm.pc file looks very simple:

$ cat llvm.pc
Name: LLVM
Description: Low-level Virtual Machine compiler framework
Version: 3.0
URL: http://www.llvm.org/
Requires:
Conflicts:
Libs: -L/usr/lib/llvm-3.0/lib -lLLVM-3.0
Cflags: -I/usr/lib/llvm-3.0/include


I would be glad if someone could find ways to create an llvm.pc file on 
Mac and Windows. My plan is to submit our solution to the LLVM team, 
hoping that they include pkg-config support in future versions of LLVM.

I started my patches on commit cdb2cdb8c9643ad0066e7c2090927443e04dc7d1.
I will try to get pkg-config running with the latest commit for LLVM-3.2, too.
