Re: [Haskell-cafe] trying to build Hackage hoq-0.3

Let me try Utku. BTW I am running Ubuntu Linux. Vasya On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 1:36 AM, Utku Demir wrote:

It looks like the "readline" library(the C one, not the Haskell one) is missing on your system. Can you install it via your distributions package manager (assuming you're using Linux)?

Like;

$ sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev # could be libreadline6-dev

3) when i run "cabal install",

I receive on stdout :

4) I googled Haskell and readline and I found the same error with other Haskell packages like Twitter.

How do I resolve my build readline problem?
