hello -- i've been having a heck of a time installing hmatrix on mac os x. i've seen the help pages including http://mit.edu/harold/Public/easyVisionNotes.html but they haven't helped me. my setup is haskell platform 2009.2.0.2 (ghc 6.10.4) os x 10.5 macports -- i've tried installing gsl and gsl-devel to no avail. i've tried cabal install with various options, to no avail. has anyone else have luck with this? best, ben

Lapack and Gsl (or something combination thereof, I don't remember) is installed on MacOS X by default, but it's a framework called vecLib . You have to add ld-options: -framework vecLib to the hmatrix.cabal file and possibly remove the other library flags. I suggest nagging the maintainer about this. (Also, I had to remove and Intel specific opcode when compiling on PowerPC.) Regards, apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
yep I had some trouble too, although interestingly less than on linux pc. can you provide some error messages and we can see if your problems are the same one's I saw. I think most of my problem involved the location of the libraries. Also I think that you are really going to want to have fink installed. Brian On Sep 7, 2009, at 7:06 PM, Ben wrote:

If this helps, here is the error message I got: Configuring hmatrix-0.5.2.2... Checking foreign libraries... FAIL *** Sorry, I can't link GSL. *** Please make sure that the appropriate -dev packages are installed. *** You can also specify the required libraries using *** cabal install hmatrix --configure-option=link:lib1,lib2,lib3,etc. setup: Package hmatrix-0.5.2.2 can't be built on this system. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: hmatrix-0.5.2.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 M.
Hi, yep - that's the problem I had. run cabal with the -v (verbose option) cabal install -v so you can see exactly where it's failing try the following : --extra-lib-dirs=PATH where PATH was (for me) was /sw/lib I'm not sure but I may have had to use --extra-include-dirs also. Generally I have a lot of trouble with cabal installing things properly using the mac, but the above options usually fix the problem. I did get hmatrix working. Then when I ran a an example which did a simple vector operation, it segfaulted. However the linear algebra routines all seemed to work. Let me know what happens. The linux pc gave me even more problems which I eventually traced to LD_LIBRARY_PATH needing to include the lib dirs. HTH. Brian On Sep 9, 2009, at 11:57 PM, Martijn van Steenbergen wrote:
