Hi Dan,
I actually ran into the same problem installing the json library (as
requirement of pandoc) some time ago. I solved this by using a more recent
version of GHC (for linux in my case). I think 6.12.3 is regarded as quite
dated.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rico Moorman

Hi all,
Please tell me where I should post this if this is not the appropriate list.
I tried to install the json-0.4.4 package on Mac OS 10.5.8, and got this error:
$ sudo cabal install "json-0.4.4" Building json-0.4.4... [1 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Types ( Text/JSON/Types.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Types.o ) [2 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Pretty ( Text/JSON/Pretty.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Pretty.o ) [3 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.ReadP ( Text/JSON/ReadP.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/ReadP.o )
Text/JSON/ReadP.hs:104:21: Warning: A do-notation statement discarded a result of type b. Suppress this warning by saying "_ <- n", or by using the flag -fno-warn-unused-do-bind [4 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Parsec ( Text/JSON/Parsec.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Parsec.o ) ghc: memory allocation failed (requested 2097152 bytes) cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: json-0.4.4 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1
This is on a machine with 16GB of RAM.
I don't think
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/FAQ.html#cabal-goes-into-an-infinite-loop--runs... applies because I'm using higher versions than mentioned there: $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3 $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.8.2 using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library
I know Mac OS 10.5.8 is old, but unfortunately ugrading this particular machine is not an option. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Dan
