Re: [Haskell-cafe] Failing to install hxt

haskell:

Hi guys,

i have some troubles to install hxt.

My first naive attempt "cabal install hxt" fails with "cabal: cannot configure hxt-8.5.0. It requires base >=4.2 && <5".

I guess that's because i use ghc 6.10.4, since "base-4.2.0.0" depends on "integer-simple" which seems to only come with ghc 6.12.

Looks like the author of hxt has decided to support 6.12 only, at the moment. base (>=4.2 && <5) Ensures this will only work on the 6.12 series of compilers. -- Don
