Hi all,<br>
<br>
I&#39;m having trouble compiling unix-compat with GHC 7.0.2. I&#39;m fairly<br>
certain that other users are not running into this, but I&#39;m not sure<br>
what would be wrong on my system. Here&#39;s the error I&#39;m getting:<br>
<br>
Resolving dependencies...<br>
Configuring unix-compat-0.2.1.1...<br>
cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:<br>
* Missing header file: HsUnixCompat.h<br>
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that<br>
provides this library (you may need the &quot;-dev&quot; version). If the library is<br>
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags<br>
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.<br>
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:<br>
unix-compat-0.2.1.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:<br>
ExitFailure 1<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michael<br>
