Hello People! I've been trying to get Yesod going! Updated cabal (as instructed). Installed the yesod-platform package. Next step, would be to install the yesod-bin package (for the yesod executable, server and stuff...)! But when I try: ./cabal install --dry-run yesod-bin I get these messages: Resolving dependencies... cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: trying: yesod-bin-1.2.7.3 (user goal) next goal: ghc (dependency of yesod-bin-1.2.7.3) Dependency tree exhaustively searched. I'm gonna get into trouble again, right? Can anyone tell me what to do next? Thank you very much! Gilberto

Are you using the Fedora system installation of GHC by any chance? If so,
the problem is that Fedora doesn't include GHC-as-a-library by default. See
[1] for more details and how to resolve it.
If you're *not* on Fedora, please provide more information on your OS and
how you install GHC/Haskell Platform.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm using openSUSE 13.1, and of all the packages "available" when I choose
to install the Haskell Platform, only the ones unmarked in the image I
attach to this reply, are not installed.
I didn't install them because they were not selected by default; also I
thought the ghc package might conflict with other stuff in the Haskell
Platform (maybe it was standalone version of ghc).
So I guess I should install: ghc, ghc-ghc and ghc-ghc-devel?
Simple Yes/No (Maybe:-)...
