Re: [Haskell-beginners] trying to install libraries for Haskell School of Expression

Brandon: Thanks. I did have to install some gtk libraries. I am also working in a sandbox now. This moved things ahead somewhat. But I am getting this now from 'cabal install soegtk': Graphics/SOE/Gtk.hs:94:18: Could not find module `System.Time' It is a member of the hidden package `old-time-1.1.0.1'. Perhaps you need to add `old-time' to the build-depends in your .cabal file. Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. Failed to install soegtk-0.9.12.2 I have forgotten anything I once knew about using cabal. I apologize for not learning how to deal with the above on my own, but I am hoping to get over this hump as quickly and painlessly as possible so I don't lose my momentum getting back to Haskell. So, can anyone give me a hint how to fix the above? Best, - DJ - On 15-03-01 02:29 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Do you have the devel libraries needed by gtk installed? cabal cannot install them for you, and the runtime libraries are not sufficient. You'll want libcairo2-dev for this, and others for other gtk components (notably libgtk-3-dev but there will be others as well).
