Fantastic release, thank you! It's never been so easy to start
playing with Yi. : )

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Using cabal install:
cabal install yi-0.4.1
when I do this on my Windows machine, cabal-install tries to download the unix-2.3.0.0 package, which clearly won't work. How do I get yi to install on Windows?
Vty frontend does not work on win32, so you must install gtk2hs (latest) beforehand. Additionally, I recommend to use cabal install yi-0.4.1 -f-vty -fgtk to force choosing the right options. Cheers, JP.

While the vty frontend is working, the gtk / pango frontends are erroring for me with, $ yi -f pango Launching custom yi: "/home/dons/.yi/yi-x86_64-linux" yi: exception :: System.Glib.GError.GError Anyone seen this? -- Don

Consistently on x64. The pango stuff is generally unstable anyway. I'm not sure what's to blame.
That's interesting. That's a Haskell exception (dynamic type). I doubt it's being thrown by the Pango code, there's only one use of it there, in parseMarkup and that should throw parsing errors pretty much independent of platform. You can catch those GError exceptions and print more interesting info. Use:
catchGError (do ... ...) (\(GError dom code msg) -> fail msg)

I had the same problem on x86_64 linux using the Gtk front and no custom config with the current Yi on Hackage (0.4.3). Using catchGError revealed: user error (Failed to open file '/home/bernardy/.cabal/share/yi-0.4.3/art/yi+lambda-fat.32.png': No such file or directory) Tracked down to Paths_yi.hs : bindir = "/home/bernardy/.cabal/bin" libdir = "/home/bernardy/.cabal/lib/yi-0.4.3/ghc-6.8.3" datadir = "/home/bernardy/.cabal/share/yi-0.4.3" libexecdir = "/home/bernardy/.cabal/libexec" I just built the latest Yi from Darcs and this seems to have been fixed. - Jon Duncan Coutts wrote:

Thanks, after installing gtk2hs and using the flags you told me I managed to install it just fine. However...

Good :)

The gtk frontend should not suffer from this: yi -fgtk -- JP.
Niklas Broberg
The gtk frontend should not suffer from this:
yi -fgtk
C:\Documents and Settings\Niklas Broberg>yi -fgtk yi: exception :: System.Glib.GError.GError
I'm out of ideas. Maybe you could ask Krasimir Angelov, which did the win32 port.
ps. If I installed it with -f-vty -fgtk, shouldn't gtk be the default when running?
It is; I was just making sure. Cheers, JP.

Try catching the exception and see what message it contains. Use catchGError. Duncan

great, i can't wait to check it out ... i get the following error when installing via hackage/cabal (ghc 6.8.1, cabal 1.4.0.1): Yi/Buffer.hs:253:0: No instance for (Typeable4 RWS) arising from the 'deriving' clause of a data type declaration at Yi/Buffer.hs:(253,0)-(254,101) Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Typeable4 RWS) When deriving the instance for (Typeable1 BufferM) Yi/Buffer.hs:256:0: Can't make a derived instance of `Typeable4 RWS' (even with cunning newtype deriving: the representation type has wrong kind) In the stand-alone deriving instance for `Typeable4 RWS' any ideas what's going wrong? is it finally time to upgrade my ghc installation? <sk>
