I tried following the advice on the DPH wiki: ./sync-all --dph get This wouldn't run because of permissions, so I tried putting sh in front of the command. This produced a lot of error messages: ./sync-all: line 3: use: command not found ./sync-all: line 4: use: command not found ./sync-all: line 8: git: command not found ./sync-all: line 8: my: command not found ./sync-all: line 8: chomp: command not found ./sync-all: line 9: git: command not found ./sync-all: line 9: my: command not found ./sync-all: line 9: chomp: command not found ./sync-all: line 10: git: command not found ./sync-all: line 10: my: command not found ./sync-all: line 10: chomp: command not found ./sync-all: line 12: my: command not found ./sync-all: line 13: my: command not found ./sync-all: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `{' ./sync-all: line 15: `if ($defaultrepo =~ /^...*:/) {' Following a suggestion from Simon Marlow, I instead tried: ./darcs-all --dph get which was more successful. Does the wiki page need updating? But when I then typed make I got: <snip> --constraint="Cabal == 1.7.0" Configuring installPackage-1.0... cabal-bin: The following installed packages are broken because other packages they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they can be used. package Cabal-1.7.0 is broken due to missing package array-0.2.0.0, containers-0.2.0.0, process-1.0.1.0 make[2]: *** [with-bootstrapping-compiler] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/colin/ghc/utils/installPackage' make[1]: *** [with-bootstrapping-compiler.installPackage] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/colin/ghc/utils' make: *** [stage1] Error 2 What do I do in such circumstances? I tried a cabal install Cabal --rebuild which seemed to work OK, but when i type make again i get the same error as before. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
