I found some directions online that said that compiling from source might be a good way to go. I downloaded and compiled ghc 6.10.1, installing it locally.
Next time include the extra-libraries in your sources, to avoid installing so many packages afterwards.
Ok. Now when I go to build network I get this: Could not find module `Data.Generics': it is a member of package base-3.0.3.0, which is hidden
According to google, the above message actually indicates that 'syb' is needed, the bug is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2980
- installed syb-0.1.0.0. - still get the same message.
At this point I'm stuck!
Are you sure you have version 2.2.0.1 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/network/2.2.0.1/network-2.2.0.1.... This package does not need syb as dependency. The file Network/URI.hs contains: #ifdef BASE4 import Data.Data ( Data ) #else import Data.Generics ( Data ) #endif and network.cabal sets the appropriate flag: if flag(base4) build-depends: base>=4 cpp-options: -DBASE4
I should say that I'm using this to install all these things:
runhaskell Setup configure --user runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install
So everything is installed 'locally' and not globally.
This should be fine. HTH Christian
