I cannot install the Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0 on my GNU/Linux system:
$ ./platform.sh \ > --prefix=/opt/haskell-platform/haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0 \ > ../ghc-7.8.3/ghc-7.8.3-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 Warning: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls: haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0 Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway. === pre-requisite packages for hptool are not installed
You can't have two versions of the Platform installed into the same ghc; ghc will become extremely confused. This is essentially a ghc shortcoming that the Platform can't work around. The hptool issue is likely that you have an older version installed than the new Platform requires, and the newer one is not compatible with the older Platform. Again, installing a separate ghc for the new Platform should resolve this. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
