Hi Roland, I installed Leksah on Ubuntu 10.10 recently using the instructions found on http://rizwanbulbul.blogspot.com/2010/06/installing-leksah-gtk-gtk2hs-and-gl... It was quite straight forward for me. Regards Tim 2010/11/27 Roland Senn :

 I learned a little bit Haskell with Hugs on Windows and now I want to develop on Linux.

I installed the Haskell Platform on Unbunto 10.10. There were no problems. Then I tried to install Leksah with sudo cabal install leksah --global It failed with: Resolving dependencies... /tmp/gtksourceview2-0.11.12661/gtksourceview2-0.11.1/Gtk2HsSetup.hs:25:0:     warning: #warning Setup.hs is guessing the version of Cabal.

The exception was: ExitFailure 1 leksah-0.8.0.8 depends on gtksourceview2-0.11.1 which failed to install.

I searched the Internet on "gtksourceview2 maybePeekUTFString" and found a patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00971/gtk_...

As a newby with the Haskell tools, I searched the Internet on how to install a patch. I found dpm and I tried to install it with:

sudo cabal install dpm --global

It failed with: configure: error: in `/tmp/terminfo-0.3.1.31936/terminfo-0.3.1.3': configure: error: curses headers could not be found, so this package cannot be built See `config.log' for more details. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: DPM-0.2.1 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install. darcs-2.5 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install. haskeline-0.6.3.2 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install. terminfo-0.3.1.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1

So after installing Haskell Platform, I only found broken packages!

What can I do to install Leksah? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
