------------------

This means you need -XRank2Polymorphism or maybe -XExistentialQuantification.
etc...
At this point, it goes over my head...
---------------
What the hell, I'll use HaskellDB and FlatDB, but then I get this message while building HaskellDB :
src/Database/HaskellDB/HDBRec.hs:106:11: Illegal signature in pattern: l f a Use -XPatternSignatures to permit it

Are you sure you specified the right extensions? (correct spelling, correct separators) Unfortunately readP doesn't give you nice error messages.
---------------
with Takusen :
$ runhaskell Setup.hs configure
Setup.hs:26:7: Could not find module `Distribution.Program': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
I give up...
----------------
That means that Takusen requires an older Cabal. I'd have to look at the code to see how hard it would be to fix this.
Is there any simple way to do it though ? Is there any problems with Cabal that I need to work around ?
Help !!

Um, yes. We haven't tested Takusen with ghc-6.8.1 yet, but it's on the list... Our Setup.hs is a bit involved at present, and soon I hope to simplify it quite a bit. There's a load of stuff in there just to get it to build Haddock docs, which will be gone soon. Alistair
This is how I successfully installed haskelldb-0.10 package with ghc-6.8.2 today: Assuming you have downloaded and unpacked haskelldb-0.10 from http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/haskelldb/0.10/haskelldb-0.10.ta... you need to append in haskelldb-0.10/haskelldb.cabal pretty, old-time, directory, old-locale in line build-depends: haskell98, base, mtl and -fglasgow-exts in line ghc-options: -O2 with that it should work: runghc Setup.hs configure runghc Setup.hs build runghc Setup.hs install manu-30 wrote:
