Re: [Haskell-cafe] cabal-install problem with alex dependency in bytestring-lexing

Alex is supplied as part of the Platform though which is the recommended system for beginners, is Yesod currently in advance of the Platform? On 16 March 2012 10:56, Erik de Castro Lopo <mle+hs@mega-nerd.com> wrote:

The problem is that many of the people trying out Yesod are newcomers to Haskell. They are going to try  "cabal install yesod" and have it fail because alex is missing. This is not a good introduction Haskell/Yesod.
