[Shifted to haskell-cafe.] G'day all. Quoting "Benjamin L.Russell" <DekuDekuplex(a)Yahoo.com>: > According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, it is "topoi" (see > http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/topos) Topoi form a certain class of category. You can study topous, you can prove theorems about topois and you can discover properties of topon. (That last one is an omega, so it's pronounced more like "top-own".) > Where did you find "octoposi?" In my ancient copy of Liddell and Scott.

Linking hmatrix without LAPACK
by Duane Johnson 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

I'm curious if there is a quick fix to this. I installed GLS and hmatrix, and it runs wonderfully together in ghci. When I run ghc -- make, however, I run into the following link dependency: Linking SilkwormGame ... Undefined symbols: "_dgemm_", referenced from: _multiplyR in libHShmatrix-0.5.0.1.a(lapack-aux.o) "_dgesv_", referenced from: _linearSolveR_l in libHShmatrix-0.5.0.1.a(lapack-aux.o) ... etc Is there a way to tell ghc to not link these? Or am I making a poor assumption that if my code runs in ghci, it does not need LAPACK? Thanks, Duane Johnson

cabal build on mac os 10.5.6 , can't find gmp
by brian 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, Cabal won't build zlib because it can't find libgmp. It's there, in /sw/lib (fink installation). I've modified the bootstrap script and added -L/sw/lib to the ghc options. This is a mystery in itself because ghc is itself a fink package and should know where gmp is, so that's already a bad sign. I can get to the build step with the additional -L option but then ./ Setup fails again because it can't find gmp. Help .... ? Thanks, Brian

Combining sequences
by michael rice 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Is there a simple way to combine two sequences that are in ascending order into a single sequence that's also in ascending order? An example would be the squares [1,4,9,16,25..] combined with the cubes [1,8,27,64,125..] to form [1,1,4,8,9,16,25,27..]. Michael

Reverting to any old version using Darcs
by Peter Verswyvelen 06 Apr '09

Rumor goes that this is very difficult to do with Darcs. Is this correct?

Confused about readline/editline
by Martijn van Steenbergen 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hello café, I'm trying to write an executable that depends on Yogurt-0.3, readline (indirectly) and hint. However, including hint in the build-depends field causes cabal to link the executable against editline instead of readline. Here is a small test case: File: Test.cabal > Name: Test > Version: 0 > > Build-Type: Simple > Cabal-Version: >= 1.2 > > Executable test > Main-Is: Test.hs > Build-Depends: base, Yogurt, hint > GHC-Options: -threaded File: Test.hs > module Main where > > import Network.Yogurt > > main:: IO () > main = do > connect "eclipse.cs.pdx.edu" 7680 (return ()) The example doesn't use any functions from hint, but simply mentioning it in the cabal file causes this behaviour. What's going on? How can I fix or work around this? I am able to reproduce this behaviour in two configurations: * Leopard Intel; cabal-install version 0.6.2, using version 1.6.0.1 of the Cabal library; GHC 6.10.1 * Ubuntu; cabal-install version 0.6.2, using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library; GHC 6.10.2 Thank you very much in advance, Martijn.

Hackage not updating package list
by Johan Tibell 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi, I just uploaded network-2.2.1. It appears on Hackage [1] but a `cabal update` followed by `cabal install network-2.2.1` results in: Resolving dependencies... cabal: There is no available version of network that satisfies ==2.2.1 The upload took a very long time and it seemed to time out at some point. My guess is that Hackage got itself into an inconsistent state. Could someone who has access to the Hackage server check what happened? 1. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network-2.2.1 Cheers, Johan

Link errors in Gtk2Hs are more general than I thought.
