Hello,
I've tried to compile hsffig-1.0pl2, unsuccesfully, also from the unstable darcs repo. I'm using ghc-6.8 (ghc6-6.8.2 from Debian unstable). HSFFIG comes with its own version of Cabal, but I cannot get past the configuration phase (./cabal-setup configure), when I get the following output:
Configuring HSFFIG-1.0... configure: searching for ghc in path. configure: found ghc at /usr/bin/ghc configure: looking for package tool: ghc-pkg near compiler in /usr/bin/ghc configure: found package tool in /usr/bin/ghc-pkg configure: Using install prefix: /usr/local configure: Using compiler: /usr/bin/ghc configure: Compiler flavor: GHC configure: Compiler version: 6.8.2 configure: Using package tool: /usr/bin/ghc-pkg configure: Using haddock: /usr/bin/haddock configure: Using happy: /usr/bin/happy configure: Using alex: /usr/bin/alex configure: Using hsc2hs: /usr/bin/hsc2hs configure: Using cpphs: /usr/bin/cpphs configure: Reading installed packages... configure: Dependency base-any: using base-3.0.1.0 cannot satisfy dependency text-any
Does anyone have an idea, how the dependency 'text-any' could be satisfied?

hsffig is old enough you should probably be using the latest, from Darcs (although the last patch is still from February 2006): http://www.golubovsky.org/repos/hsffig-1.1. I got a little further by running make and then modifying the build-depends: +Build-depends: base>3, parsec, hxt, Cabal>=1.1.3, filepath, unix, process, containers, array, directory Which leads to a bunch of build errors: [ 5 of 14] Compiling TokenOps ( programs/TokenOps.hs, dist/build/ffipkg/ffipkg-tmp/TokenOps.o ) programs/TokenOps.hs:48:11: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:48:11-45 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TCOMM_OPEN undefined) tf In the definition of `commOpen': commOpen = tokenTest (TCOMM_OPEN undefined) tf where tf (TCOMM_OPEN _) (TCOMM_OPEN _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:52:12: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s1 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:52:12-47 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s1 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TCOMM_CLOSE undefined) tf In the definition of `commClose': commClose = tokenTest (TCOMM_CLOSE undefined) tf where tf (TCOMM_CLOSE _) (TCOMM_CLOSE _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:58:10: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s2 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:58:10-50 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s2 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TKFILE undefined undefined) tf In the definition of `anyFile': anyFile = tokenTest (TKFILE undefined undefined) tf where tf (TKFILE _ _) (TKFILE _ _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:64:12: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s3 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:64:12-54 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s3 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TKSTRING undefined undefined) tf In the definition of `anyString': anyString = tokenTest (TKSTRING undefined undefined) tf where tf (TKSTRING _ _) (TKSTRING _ _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:70:9: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s4 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:70:9-48 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s4 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TKDEF undefined undefined) tf In the definition of `anyDef': anyDef = tokenTest (TKDEF undefined undefined) tf where tf (TKDEF _ _) (TKDEF _ _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:115:8: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s5 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) arising from a use of `tokenTest' at programs/TokenOps.hs:115:8-45 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s5 mtl-1.1.0.0:Control.Monad.Identity.Identity Token) In the expression: tokenTest (TKW undefined undefined) tf In the definition of `anyKw': anyKw = tokenTest (TKW undefined undefined) tf where tf (TKW _ _) (TKW _ _) = True tf _ _ = False programs/TokenOps.hs:121:8: No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s6 mtl-1.1.0.0:Contr ---- Oh dear. I suppose one might want to ask the hsffig devs whether they will update hsffig / trouble-shoot this, or if hsffig is even still worth using (perhaps it was meant to occupy a niche since filled). -- gwern JD Uzbekistan SARL Goldman Mole Hello 52 SGDN Red SIG
