Looks like the author of hxt has decided to support 6.12 only, at the moment.
base (>=4.2 && <5)
Ensures this will only work on the 6.12 series of compilers.
Thanks. I know.
My point is, i don't understand why hxt-8.3.2 (base >= 4 && <5) fails to install for me with:
" src/Text/XML/HXT/Parser/TagSoup.hs:292:8: Not in scope: `optLookupEntity' cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: hxt-8.3.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 "
That looks like an error relating to the versoin of tagsoup used?
You're right, thanks. "optLookupEntity" is defined in tagsoup-0.6, but not in tagsoup-0.8. But hxt-8.3.2 broadly requires tagsoup [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tagsoup-0.8] (>=0.6 && <1). I am no cabal expert. What is the best solution here?
