Re: [Haskell-cafe] the "process" package ...

22 Aug 2008


      To be honest I'd not bother. You already have the version of the process
...
package that came with ghc and there are no new releases that you need.
That's why nobody else noticed the problem, because nobody needs to
install this package, because it comes with ghc.
problem here Duncan .. when I run "cabal install haskelldb" e.g.
"process" is rightly seen as a dependency BUT unrightly as not currently
installed .... ???

If you really want to re-install it anyway then you could use the darcs
version that goes with the ghc-6.8.x branch:
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.8/packages/process
Obviously in principle the version on hackage should have worked. You'll
be glad to know that hackage now checks that packages that use
build-type Configure do indeed actually have a ./configure file, so this
particular error cannot be repeated.

Ah, you're using process-1.0.0.0 from hackage. It does indeed
        appear to
        be borked because it specifies build-type: Configure and yet
        contains
        no ./configure script.
Sorry, I assumed that you were missing ./configure because you
        were
        using the darcs version.
