Hi Mesha; I try to build the latest version from edentv, but I have problem to build the depends packages. I am stick to build "cairo", it gives my the following error Preprocessing library cairo-0.12.0... Building cairo-0.12.0... Graphics/Rendering/Cairo.hs:8:0: error: cairo-version.h: No such file or directory It is required by GTK packages. Can you till where I can find the right version that can build with ghc-6.12.3 or to install this package? I have tried the one which in http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/cairo/0.12.0/ but it does not work. cheers -- Heriot-Watt University is a Scottish charity registered under charity number SC000278.

The cairo package is a set of Haskell bindings to the cairo library; for it to work you must first have the development version of the cairo library installed through your operating system's package management system. E.g. on debian/ubuntu it is probably called something like cairo-dev. That package will provide things like C header files and so on. -Brent
