Please report any bug of gtk2hs-0.11.0, we will fix it before release gtk2hs-0.11.1
I have just installed the new Haskell Platform under Mac OS X 10.5. With the previous installation of GHC 6.10.4 I managed to install gtk2hs manually so I think I have all required Unix libs.
Now, I tried to install gtk2hs from Hackage but didn't succeed.
cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
works fine but
cabal install gtk
fails with the message
Configuring gtk-0.11.0... setup: ./Graphics/UI/Gtk/General/IconTheme.chs: invalid argument cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: gtk-0.11.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1
The dependencies seem to be installed properly:
# ghc-pkg --user list | grep 0.11.0 cairo-0.11.0 gio-0.11.0 glib-0.11.0 pango-0.11.0
Has anyone experienced this before? Googling the error message brings up a related problem under Solaris but no solution. It's a bug of gtk2hs-0.11.0, that IconTheme.chs contain some UTF-8 character that can't handle by gtk2hs/gtk/Gtk2HsSetup.hs
You can fix this problem with two solutions: 1) Change your locate to UTF-8. 2) Or download darcs version of gtk2hs (darcs get http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs). Cheers, -- Andy
