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...

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 On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 7:18 PM, Dan Tenenbaum wrote:

Thanks. My goal is also to install pandoc. The problem is that what I currently have is the latest version of the Haskell Platform which is available as a binary for Mac OS 10.5. If I want a more recent Haskell Platform, I need to build from source (and/or use port or brew) which I haven't been able to do successfully, but I guess that's a different post....

You might have the most recent haskell platform installed, but the version of GHC that is actually being used to compile is much older. I would guess that you have previously installed *something* using Macports (or fink/homebrew), which depended on that specific GHC. Try removing it via the macports.

OSX 10.5.8 isn't THAT old. You can definitely get a Haskell Platform 7.x Peter On 21 November 2012 22:58, Peter Hall wrote:

It's not a PPC machine, it's an Intel Machine. The only Haskell Platform installer for Mac OS 10.5 that I have found is at the bottom of: http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html It's labeled 2010.2.0.0. I don't think I have any old port installations hanging out messing things up (though I'll doublecheck). For one thing, /opt/local (where port installs things) is not in the PATH. I've never used brew on this machine, I tried passing some parameters to use the compacting collector, and to set the heap size, as suggested by this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13479538/cant-install-json-0-4-4-memory-a... Unfortunately I get the same results (I set heap size to 4095MB, the largest I'm allowed to set it). Doesn't seem to matter whether the compacting collector is used or not.

Updating GHC by building it from source seemed to to the trick. I was then able to install the latest pandoc and dependencies. It was suggested I install GHC 7.4.2 rather than 7.6.* so that's what I did. Thanks, Dan On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Dan Tenenbaum wrote:
