I know it seems an obtuse OS to build on, but trust me, it's pretty nice despite the hassles.

I'm getting these three errors (repeated a few times) while building gtkhs-0.9.13 on ghc 6.8.3, and was hoping for any suggestions on where to go from here:

tools/c2hs/base/general/Map.hs:16:7: Could not find module `Data.Map': it is a member of package containers-0.1.0.2, which is hidden tools/c2hs/base/errors/Errors.hs:44:0: Failed to load interface for `Position': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. glib/System/Glib.hs:13:0: Failed to load interface for `System.Glib.UTFString': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

The first error is the real one; the others happen because the gtk2hs makefile doesn't properly abort when a sub-build fails. (This is probably a bash-ism: setting -e aborts the current iteration of a loop, not the entire script/fragment containing the loop. Supposedly POSIX mandates this braindamage. I'm dubious.) I have no idea what's causing the first one, though; normally it means something is missing from a Cabal configuration file, but last I checked gtk2hs didn't use Cabal and I don't see an obvious candidate in our gtk2hs 0.9.13 source tree. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
