I am trying to install the Haskell libraries for pandoc on a local home folder and without root access, using the command: cabal install pandoc However, I run into the error: cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h * Missing C library: z
From what I understand, I need to install zlib1g-dev. GHC and cabal install are available, but without root access I'm having trouble figuring out how to provide the necessary zlib files. I've tried to download the source of zlib1g-dev, but in order to compile it, I have to use "make" which I do not have the priviledge to invoke.
Can someone guide me through getting pandoc up and running without root access? The system is Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
