Hi all, I am trying to install vacuum-cairo and leksah. For both these packages cabal complains that "gtk", "gtksourceview", "svgcairo" etc are not found. They are definetely installed on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron box. Where is Cabal looking?
When you say "they are definitely installed", what do you mean? If you mean you have installed Ubuntu packages like libgtk-dev (or whatever it is called), that's good, but not enough. Cabal is looking for *Haskell* libraries which contain the bindings to those foreign libraries. You will have to install gtk2hs, which provides them: http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ -Brent
