I need some advice on the most straightforward way to install the Network package on Windows. I can install Cywgin if that's what it takes. Thanks in advance.
cabal install network Resolving dependencies... Configuring network-2.2.1.7... cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: network-2.2.1.7 failed during the configure step. The exception was: sh: runGenProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Looks like it wants to run "sh" (i.e., the Borne Shell), which obviously doesn't exist on Windows. Now I'm sure some kind soul somewhere has probably compiled a Win32 binary for it, but I would suggest that the build will just immediately trip over again because some *other* Unix-only tool isn't available.
How to fix? Well, I'm guessing you'll be forced to install some kind of Unix emulation layer such as Cygwin. I don't have any expertise of such things...
You can also use MSYS/MinGW, I prefer this to Cygwin. Best wishes, Maciej
