Only thing is you (jgoerzen) might want to change http://changelog.complete.org/posts/492-Announcing-HSH,-the-Haskell-Shell.ht... to include the type example, or explain why sometimes you need it sometimes no. (I'm guessing this just has to do with which version of the module you're using.) Finally looking forward to playing with my new toy :) 2007/4/3, Thomas Hartman :

actually, maybe I'm more okay than I thought.

I originally did this without reading the INSTALL file, and built using the process I have gotten used to: runghc Setup.hs configure; runghc Setup.hs build; runghc Setup.hs install.

But when I followed the directions in the INSTALL file ...

make setup

Now:

./setup configure ./setup build ./setup install

... it seemed to work without that error message.

So far so good!

I was also able to do

however, when I tried copying a simple example from

http://changelog.complete.org/posts/492-Announcing-HSH,-the-Haskell-Shell.ht...

I got errors

So, that's where I'm at now.

2007/4/3, Thomas Hartman :

...

That was a pretty badly titled top thead, which I regret -- probably should have been something like "figuring out how to track down and install packages in haskell, using ubuntu /deb-- was Ann:: HSH".

To give additional context, this started out as

http://groups.google.de/group/fa.haskell/browse_thread/thread/ca37248eae7a065f/d039de2f9bf6e848?lnk=st&q=hsh+tphyahoo&rnum=1&hl=en#d039de2f9bf6e848

Sorry about the bad title.

Still hoping to get hsh working, though for me this has more morphed into learning about package and dependency chasing in a haskell/deb context.

2007/4/3, Thomas Hartman :

...

I'm still trying to figure out how to do this on ubuntu. If this winds up being a garden path I'll try on debian next, but at least I'm learning a lot about getting haskell stuff built.

Anyway, since I'm on a virtualized linux box, I decided to get a fresh start, unmounted my original OS profile and installed a fresh dapper 6.

I then changed /etc/apt/sources.list to be okay for grabbing .debs from feisty. (No longer doing the build from source thing.)

apt-get install ghc6, ok from feisty. (Is there another repo that gets all the extra libs at one go?)

sudo apt-cache search -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 ghc6 | grep -i missing

libghc6-hdbc-missingh-dev - Integration of HDBC with MissingH, GHC version libghc6-missingh-dev - Library of utility functions for Haskell, GHC6 package thartman@linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>sudo apt-cache search -o

hoorah, my apt cache search command seems ok.

sudo apt-cache search -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 ghc6 | grep -i hsh thartman@linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>

too bad, still no hsh in ubuntu repo.

darcs get http://darcs.complete.org/hsh/ (Or should I have used something else?)

runghc Setup.hs configure same problems as before.

But starting afresh seems to have detangled the issues I was having with packaging confusion. At least now I can apt-get install missingh

And some other dependency following is made easier.

Finally configure for hsh works.

But then

thartman@linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh>sudo runghc Setup.lhs install Setup.lhs: Warning: The field "hs-source-dir" is deprecated, please use hs-source-dirs. Installing: /usr/local/lib/HSH-1.2.1/ghc-6.6 & /usr/local/bin HSH-1.2.1... Setup.lhs: Error: Could not find module: HSH with any suffix: ["hi"]

So, I seem to be stuck at this point.

2007/4/2, Thomas Hartman :

...

Well, I guess I spoke to soon. After building ghc6 from feisty as described above, I tried building missingh and have basically what I started with.

Is there something I can tweak to get the above straightened out using those nice deb packages, or do I have to do all the dependency chasing involved with building from source? Or is there another way?

If this is too debian oriented please yell at me and I will ask about this on a deb/ubuntu forum.

thanks...

Note, should have mentioned, after doing as my above post describes, I installed all the newly generated deb packages with

dpkg -i *.deb

As you have built ghc6.6 from sources I think that you also need to build all haskell libs from sources. So, do

I did this, and got the feeling this would probably work, but is a real sad world of dependency chasing with no (clear) end in sight.

So I investigated your second suggestion

...

Another way is to take ghc6 and all haskell libs from fiesty.

which to me seems much preferrable.

http://old.pupeno.com/blog/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/

Was indispensible in helping me figure out how to do this.

To give some details on this (which is really more apt packaging know how than haskell but whatever), I did something like

1) change /etc/apt/sources.list to add

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse

note, only add deb-src line here, not deb line, see article above for why.

sudo aptitude install fakeroot (needed utility) fakeroot apt-get source --build ghc6 -- complains, some dependencies are missing

sudo aptitude install ..... install packages with above command, not from source. it's my first time using the aptitude command, I wonder if this does the same thing as apt-get install, which is what I usually do. Whatever the case...

fakeroot apt-get source --build ghc6

works :)
