I'm having a similar error when trying to install HMatrix on OS X as
well. Interested if anyone can find a solution.

Hi all,
I'm trying to install the easyVision library on OS X, following the notes at http://mit.edu/harold/Public/easyVisionNotes.html.
However, despite a few hours web trawling and hacking away with various cabal options, I can't get "hmatrix" to install. I'm using OS X 10.5.8 with GHC 6.10.4. I installed gsl using macports, as suggested in the notes above, but cabal doesn't seem to be able to find it. The error I'm getting is:
[13:22:35 dmorti hmatrix-0.8.2.0]$ cabal install hmatrix Resolving dependencies...

The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1
It appears that others have also had this error, but have been able to fix it up by including "--extra-lib-dirs" and "--extra-include-dirs" options, or using "ld-options: -framework vecLib". I've tried both of these approaches, but still get the same errors.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
