Re: [Haskell-beginners] Couple of problems with leksah

I still haven't managed to resolve this. Any thoughts on the errors below? I don't understand why packages should be on hackage in the first place if their dependencies are not available from there either. I feel like you should have to explicitly opt-in to get any package that has non-hackage or unreleased dependencies. Peter On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 1:47 AM, Peter Hall wrote:

Thanks. That got me a bit further, but there are a lot more errors now!

I didn't get any response on the Leksah forum, so I hope it's ok to ask here.

Sure. Anything Haskell-related is okay to ask here.

First problem, I keep seeing this in the error log:

...

Setup: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of Cabal being used has changed (was Cabal-1.10.2.0, now Cabal-1.10.1.0). Additionally the compiler is different (was ghc-6.12, now ghc-7.0) which is probably the cause of the problem.

When I run configure, it just prints:

...

Resolving dependencies... Configuring pokercalc-0.0.1...

But it doesn't fix anything.

Sorry, no idea for that one.

...

The other problem is when I try to update cabal:

...

cabal install leksah

Resolving dependencies... cabal: cannot configure haddock-2.9.4. It requires ghc >=7.2 && <7.4 There is no available version of ghc that satisfies >=7.2 && <7.4

haddock-2.9.4 is exclusively for ghc-7.2, with ghc-7.0, you need haddock-2.9.2, try

$ cabal install leksah --constraint="haddock < 2.9.4"

...

I'm using Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.6 Any ideas?
