Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: cabal: : openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

lol, yep you're right. I'd assumed the haskell platform shipped with the latest parsec, when in fact it does not :) my bad... However, I fixed the cabal issue by installing ghc 6.10.3 and rebuilding the haskell platform. Apparently there is either a compiler issue or incompatibility with 6.10.4 that causes the cabal: : openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) error. - Job On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Thomas Hartman wrote:

did you verify parsec-2.1.0.1 exports

This might be a parsec 2 versus parsec 3 issue

ghc-pkg describe parsec-2.1.0.1

should tell you the answer to that.

I tried updating to ghc-6.10.4 and have exactly the same error. Also ghc doesn't seem to be able to find any of the haskell platform packages, even though it ghc-pkg finds them just fine.

For example (trimmed for brevity):

ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf: Cabal-1.6.0.3, ... parsec-2.1.0.1, pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1, ...

ghci -v readModel.hs GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.10.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 6.8.2 Using package config file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf ...

readModel.hs:9:7: Could not find module `Text.Parsec.Language': locations searched: Text/Parsec/Language.hs Text/Parsec/Language.lhs Failed, modules loaded: none. ...

ghc-pkg finds parsec, but ghci can't find it.

And if I do a cabal -v3 update I get a: cabal: 3: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Anybody figured it out?

cabal -v3 update

will give you a more verbose version of what is going wrong.

cabal --help

regrettably, cabal --help doesn't tell you this but there is always the man page I suppose.

Hello,

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10. I installed ghc 6.10.4 (from binary package: ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2). I installed haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 (from source package: haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1.tar.gz). It contains cabal-install-0.6.2.

Then when I run "cabal update", I get the following error: cabal: : openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Any ideas?

Thanks, Tony
