Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fwd: hackage compile failure with QuickCheck 2.5

Dear Levent, unfortunately I am at a loss here. As far as I understand it this should be fixed in QuickCheck's .cabal file or on Hackage. But I am not experienced enough to decide. You best wait for someone else to comment on this. Depending on template-haskell in your .cabal file is not the way to go as far as I understand it. But maybe it's a possible work-around in case you depend on the package being available on Hackage timely. Regards, Alexander Foremny 2012/7/17 Levent Erkok :

It builds fine locally on my box; but not on hackage. Here's the page: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/sbv-2.2

Thanks for looking into this Alexander, I appreciate your help.

Which package are you trying to build? Is it a local package that fails to build or something on Hackage? Its .cabal file or at least full dependencies would be of interest.

Thanks Alexander. However, I'm not sure how to use the workaround described so I can get hackage to properly compile my package. It sounds like I have to add a "template-haskell >= 2.7.0.0" dependency to my own cabal file, which sounds like the wrong thing to do in the long-run.

Is there something that can be done on the hackage/ghc side to avoid this issue? Or something less drastic than adding a template-haskell dependency on my own package's cabal file?

Thanks,

I'm having a hackage compile failure for a newly uplodaded package that has a QuickCheck 2.5 dependence. The error message is:

[13 of 13] Compiling Test.QuickCheck.All ( Test/QuickCheck/All.hs, dist/build/Test/QuickCheck/All.o )

Test/QuickCheck/All.hs:15:1: Bad interface file:

/usr/local/tmp/archive/install/lib/template-haskell-2.6.0.0/ghc-7.4.1/Language/Haskell/TH.hi Something is amiss; requested module template-haskell-2.6.0.0:Language.Haskell.TH differs from name found in the interface file template-haskell:Language.Haskell.TH

The full log file is at (search for "Something is a miss" in it):

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/sbv/2.2/logs/failure/ghc-7.4

Needless to say, I don't see this problem when I compile this package at home with the same compiler (ghc 7.4.1) as hackage is using; also Hackage has a successfully compiled QuickCheck 2.5 package.

Could it be something related to the particular cabal/ghc installation on the hackage server? In particular, I don't understand why it picks template-haskell 2.6.0.0 when there's a newer version (2.7.0.0). As far as I can see, QuickCheck doesn't put an upper limit on its template haskell version dependency.

I'd appreciate any pointers with this. (Googling and questions on the #haskell irc channel didn't help much, unfortunately.)
