Hi Vlatko, Thanks again for your help. I'm actually using a Mac, which should be almost exactly like linux.

Either first or second. When you install ghc, it creates two directories in your $HOME. Those are .cabal and .ghc. In those directories cabal installs packages. cabal-dev and SourceGraph are executable programs only and you do not need their source files, just binary file. So, the proposed solution creates those executable programs, but without disturbing packages you already have installed. Let me know if you need further help. I'm assuming you're on Linux. But the solution for Windows should be similar, but not sure. vlatko -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] Problem installing EclipseFp in Eclipse From: Robert Weisser Robert.Weisser@gmx.com To: vlatko.basic@gmail.com , The Haskell-Beginners Mailing List - Discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell beginners@haskell.org Date: 01.05.2014 16:44 Thanks, Vlatko. I'm not sure I understand everything you said, but I'll give it a try.

New version that is about to come out will support cabal for sandboxing as well. The problem is that installed ghc depends on cabal version being shipped with. And it looks like it'll stay like that for a while, and until it is solved, you'll depend on cabal being shipped with ghc. The problematic packages are bins only, so you can - build them sandboxed and move the bins to .cabal/bin or - move/rename your .cabal and .ghc, cabal update, build cabal-dev and sourcegraph as usual, copy the bins to moved/renamed .cabal/bin, delete newly created .cabal and .ghc, move/rename back your .cabal and .ghc You can go with 3. also, but for a bit larger project you'll run into cabal-hell, so better to use it. It is quite comfortable to work in eclipseFP, so I think it is worth some initial troubles. :-) Best regards, vlatko -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] Problem installing EclipseFp in Eclipse From: Robert Weisser Robert.Weisser@gmx.com To: The Haskell-Beginners Mailing List - Discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell beginners@haskell.org Date: 01.05.2014 05:17 Thanks.

I downloaded Eclipse, and then started to install EclipseFP. At some point, I got a screen which said that I needed to install buildwrapper and scion-browser. It offered to install both of them, and optionally install hoogle, hlint, stylish-haskell, SourceGraph, and cabal-dev. The option to install the additional items was pre-checked. I left it checked. The installation of buildwrapper, etc. took a long time. It seemed to be going well until I saw the messages below, which say that installing SourceGraph will likely break several other packages, most of which were part of the EclipseFP installation. I am not a complete novice with Haskell but I am a complete novice with Cabal. I'm not sure what to do. Here are some options I have considered: 1. Use --force-reinstalls and hope for the best. 2. Try to resolve the problem with Cabal, although I don't know to do this. 3. Use EclipseFP without SourceGraph and cabal-dev. 4. Use EclipseFP without SourceGraph, but install cabal-dev using cabal on the command line. 5. Forget about Eclipse altogether, and go back to using vim. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I am using Haskell Platform 7.6.3. Here are the messages I saw in the Eclipse console window: <terminated> Installing executable SourceGraph Resolving dependencies...
