Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Cannot Install Yi - Haskell 2011.02.0.0 To: beginners@haskell.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 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?

this failed though because among other things glib would not install. from the error messages gtk2hs-buildtools was advised to be installed. So I installed that. Then I attempted to use $ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango again but still glib fails.
glib cannot be installed because of below error. Any further ideas?

C:\Documents and Settings\renshaw>cabal install pkg-config cabal: There is no package named 'pkg-config'. You may need to run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available packages.
pkg-config is not a Haskell thing, it's a C (I think) tool. Unixoids usually come equipped with pkg-config, on Windows you have to install it otherwise (google pkg-config for Windows, that should turn up something installable).
