gtk library installation from ubuntu repository
Hi, I am using ubuntu 7.04. If I try to install libghc6-gtk-dev package using apt-get (or aptitude) my installation hangs at following stage building GHCi library /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/gtk- 0.9.10.5/HSgtk.o... it doesn;t move later and machine just slogs! Then I have no other way than killing the process which in turn does not allow me install anything later. In last three days I have installed ubuntu with haskell on three different machines and it seems I have always got this problem whenever I tried to install libghc6-soegtk-dev. does anybody know that the package @ ubuntu repository is faulty or something wrong here? any fix to this problem! (probably I should put this on ubuntu users list... but putting mail here because if it is problem with libghc6-soegtk-dev, then somebody from you must have experienced it!) Thanks N Regards, VIkrant

It's a packaging bug that was fixed in the 0.9.11 debian package. So try and use the 0.9.11 version of the package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libghc6-gtk-dev You may also like to pester some ubuntu maintainer person to get the ubuntu package up to at least the latest debian version. (I'm also hoping debian will get the Gtk2Hs 0.9.12 package that's been out for a little while now) Duncan

unfortunatley, the original maintainer, Liyang HU, is not as repsonsive as a debian package maintainer should be. I did the last two uploads, but I do not really want to be responsible for the package, due to time constraints. Maybe someone here is interesting in being the debian package maintainer? I’d be able to sponsor the uploads.

I'm interested, but I'm also terribly busy. If someone else wants it, I won't bother, but if not, I'll do it. I'm a DD and I don't need sponsoring :) -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Jyväskylä http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/antti-juhani/
