Cannot Install Yi - Haskell 2011.02.0.0

Hi I am on Windows XP SP3. The unix chain fails to install and therefore i cannot install Yi. This is how it is failing. Any ideas on how to get it working? Registering dyre-0.8.6... Installing library in C:\Documents and Settings\renshaw\Application Data\cabal\dyre-0.8.6\ghc-7.0.2 Registering dyre-0.8.6... cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: terminfo-0.3.1.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 unix-2.4.2.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 vty-4.6.0.6 depends on unix-2.4.2.0 which failed to install. yi-0.6.3.0 depends on unix-2.4.2.0 which failed to install.

The vty UI is not supported on Windows, unfortunately. You'll need to install Gtk2Hs and the Pango UI. I'm not sure if there's anything you need to do to install Gtk2Hs (on unix machines, it's just cabal install-able), but after that you should be able to run this: $ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango (That disables the vty UI, enables the pango UI.) -- Jeff Wheeler Undergraduate, Electrical Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Actually I cannot install Yi on mint debian either. Cabal version doesn't match. I did cabal install cabal-install then cabal upgrade cabal but get this error when trying to install Yi Installing library in /home/sayth/.cabal/lib/Cabal-1.10.1.0/ghc-6.12.1 Registering Cabal-1.10.1.0... sayth@homegroup ~ $ cabal install yi Resolving dependencies... cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.12.1 requires Cabal ==1.8.0.2 however Cabal-1.8.0.2 was excluded because yi-0.6.3.0 requires Cabal ==1.10.*

Yes, the ghc lib requires the Cabal it was built against. You can either try installing an earlier version of Yi which works with Cabal-1.8.* or upgrading to GHC-7 (which comes with Cabal-1.10).
