I'm trying to use SDL-mixer v0.6.1. When I add a dependency to my cabal file and run cabal repl I get the following error: Loading package SDL-mixer-0.6.1 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: /home/prf/haskell/link-problem/.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/SDL-mi xer-0.6.1/libHSSDL-mixer-0.6.1-ghc7.8.3.so (/home/prf/haskell/link-problem/.cab al-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/SDL-mixer-0.6.1/libHSSDL-mixer-0.6.1-ghc7 .8.3.so: undefined symbol: Mix_FreeChunk) I can see these undefined symbols when I run: nm -D SDL-mixer-0.6.1/libHSSDL-mixer-0.6.1-ghc7.8.3.so | grep Free U Mix_FreeChunk U Mix_FreeMusic Running ldd on this file and grepping for SDL gives libHSSDL-0.6.5-ghc7.8.3.so => /home/prf/haskell/link-problem/.cabal-sandbox/lib /x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/SDL-0.6.5/libHSSDL-0.6.5-ghc7.8.3.so (0x00007fb20b30600 0) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x00007fb20a232000) It seems like a dependency to /usr/lib64/libSDL_mixer.so is missing. Line 1815 of SDL-mixer-0.6.1/configure contains the following definition of SDL_LIBS: SDL_LIBS="-L`$SDL_CONFIG --prefix`/lib -lSDL_mixer" This refers to the 32 bit lib directory, but I'm on a 64 bit system. I unpacked SDL-mixer and changed this line to refer to the 64 bit lib directory. Next I recreated my cabal sandbox from scratch and added the patched version of SDL-mixer as a dependency. When I run cabal repl again I get the same error as mentioned above. What am I doing wrong? How do I get SDL-mixer to build against /usr/lib64/libSDL_mixer.so? Thanks, Peter
