Hi, yep - that's the problem I had. run cabal with the -v (verbose option) cabal install -v so you can see exactly where it's failing try the following : --extra-lib-dirs=PATH where PATH was (for me) was /sw/lib I'm not sure but I may have had to use --extra-include-dirs also. Generally I have a lot of trouble with cabal installing things properly using the mac, but the above options usually fix the problem. I did get hmatrix working. Then when I ran a an example which did a simple vector operation, it segfaulted. However the linear algebra routines all seemed to work. Let me know what happens. The linux pc gave me even more problems which I eventually traced to LD_LIBRARY_PATH needing to include the lib dirs. HTH. Brian On Sep 9, 2009, at 11:57 PM, Martijn van Steenbergen wrote:

yep I had some trouble too, although interestingly less than on linux pc. can you provide some error messages and we can see if your problems are the same one's I saw.
If this helps, here is the error message I got:
