Re: [Haskell-cafe] Need help: Cabal rejecting stringsearch, conflict in base

I did the easy way and it worked! The bad thing is that after restarting my laptop, xmonad and xmobar were gone. I recompiled xmonad and it's ok, but xmobar is failing to build because "unix" package is failing because "Signals.h" is missing (used by System.Posix.Signals). :-( I guess my cabal environment is messed up. Is `rm -rf ~/.ghc ~/.cabal` supposed to reset cabal installation? How do I start a fresh cabal environment? 2013/11/26 Clark Gaebel

You've got two options:

1) (the easy way)

rm -rf ~/.ghc ~/.cabal cabal update cabal install scotty

2) (the hard way, ghc 7.6+ only)

Use a sandbox!

cd path/to/my/project/that/uses/scotty cabal sandbox init cabal install --only-dependencies -j # make sure scotty is a dependency of your project cabal configure cabal build

3) use cabal-dev. similar to using sandboxes, but I don't have it any more so can't give you a step-by-step.

I don't know what to do. :-( I can't install scotty or yesod.
