Re: Can't install Criterion package on ghc ..

Hi, Thanks for the replies .. I upgraded ghc to ghc 6.12 .. and installed Criterion through cabal .. There is another problem here which I really don't know if it is due to the ghc version or the dependencies or my OS version !!! I installed Criterion package,libpng, gnuplot .. and lots of other packages which seemed to be useful ! Unfortunately when I run the below command it gives me errors at the end and says it can’t plot the png output . ./profile -t png:500×175 -k png:500×175 .. .. .. output type PNG 500 175 not supported on this platform output type PNG 500 175 not supported on this platform Why is it so ? What else do I need to be able to actually see the graphical result ? Do I have to install gtk2hs as well ? Actually, I installed gtk2hs-0.10.1, but it seems that it can’t be installed completely on ghc 6.12 !! Below is the error I get after running make and make install : (before, I am not sure if my question is related to this thread or not .. sorry in advance) For example I get this error at the end, after I run make : make: *** [package.conf.inplace] Error 1 make: *** Deleting file `package.conf.inplace' and I get this one at the end, when I run make install : ghc: can’t find a package database at package.conf.inplace make: *** [glib/System/Glib.o] Error 1 Is there any way to get this fixed ? Do I really have to install gtk2hs ? Thanks, On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 3:24 PM, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

Can you check? If it still happens with 6.12, please submit a bug report. If 6.10 can't compile criterion, you might want to add a constraint to the Cabal meta-data.
