Hi

I suspect the problem you are having is specifically with Pandoc. Pandoc has a couple of dependencies on C libraries: network and zlib are two - they are part of the Haskell platform so they would be
network gave me a hard time without the Haskell Platform as well.
Digest seems to depend on C internals of the zlib library. Now, zlib package is part Haskell platform and it includes a binary library of (the C) zlib and the source headers, so it might be possible to build digest by itself but you might end up needing cygwin or MinGW / msys (I've built it just now under Cygwin).
I feared that I'd need a complete GNU C toolchain.
Trying to installing digest before Pandoc is one possibility - if it fails, at least it will show if further attempts to install Pandoc are going to be futile.
digest has been installed successfully, as far as I can see. I'll probably try my luck with a MINGW installation in the next few days, hopefully it helps. Thomas
