Hi all,

I'm trying to compile Haskell's webkit package, but I'm getting this error:

$ cabal install webkit Resolving dependencies... [1 of 2] Compiling SetupWrapper ( /tmp/webkit-0.12.3-9205/webkit- 0.12.3/SetupWrapper.hs, /tmp/webkit-0.12.3-9205/webkit- 0.12.3/dist/setup/SetupWrapper.o ) [2 of 2] Compiling Main ( /tmp/webkit-0.12.3-9205/webkit- 0.12.3/Setup.hs, /tmp/webkit-0.12.3-9205/webkit-0.12.3/dist/setup/Main.o ) Linking /tmp/webkit-0.12.3-9205/webkit-0.12.3/dist/setup/setup ...

The exception was: ExitFailure 1

I'm compiling it inside a hsenv, with this ghc:

$ ghc -v Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 7.4.1, stage 2 booted by GHC version 7.4.1

Using binary package database: /tmp/webkit/.hsenv/ghc_pkg_db/package.cache wired-in package ghc-prim mapped to ghc-prim-0.2.0.0- c2ff696e5b8ec4d4b2bc2e42085fe471 wired-in package integer-gmp mapped to integer-gmp-0.4.0.0- 3cccac07aef8e27023f605c1f45bdf74 wired-in package base mapped to base-4.5.0.0-40b99d05fae6a4eea95ea69e6e0c9702 wired-in package rts mapped to builtin_rts wired-in package template-haskell mapped to template-haskell-2.7.0.0- 8c8cd20e21666657195efabced685fe1 wired-in package dph-seq not found. wired-in package dph-par not found. Hsc static flags: -static

Any ideas?

Thanks, L.

By complete chance, I happened to be trying to use webkit today as well, ran into the same problem.

Looks like hswebkit.h isn't getting installed anywhere in an include dir on my system. I was able to install and build against the webkit library after copying that file manually myself from the root of the webkit dev dir to /usr/local/include

You can get the webkit source to get this .h file:

$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/webkit/

This is of course not a good long-term solution. I'm trying to figure out whom to email or where to send a bug report now.
