Hi folks, I'm trying to install Brent Yorgey's diagrams library. I'm having trouble getting the Haskell bindings to the Cairo library installed correctly and/or visible. As you can see below, I have the Haskell Cairo stuff installed at /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/cairo-0.10.1 I did this with something like $ sudo aptitude install libghc6-cairo-dev In other words, I used the ubuntu package system to install this. You can also see that ghc-pkg does not see this installation. I thought I might be able to fix the problem by registering these packages with 'ghc-pkg register', but I can't get that to work. Finally (and this is not shown below) I tried to compile gtk2hs from source. I seem to have had a successful './configure' step, but then I fail at the 'make' step, for a similar reason. The system can't find the cairo and similar files at /usr/lib/haskell-packages One more point about my system might be important. I installed GHC 6.10 using the ubuntu installer, then compiled 6.12 from source, then installed the most recent haskell-platform. I would greatly appreciate any help you all could provide.
