Hi, I get this error. I think have zlib installed! what package should I install to compile cabal on my machine (ubuntu - 8.04) Configuring cabal-install-0.5.2... Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: zlib >=0.4 status of zlib on my machine is as following bahs$ aptitude search zlib p gambas2-gb-compress-bzlib2 - The Gambas bzlib2 component p gambas2-gb-compress-zlib - The Gambas zlib compression component p libcompress-raw-zlib-perl - low-level interface to zlib compression l p libcompress-zlib-perl - Perl module for creation and manipulation p libio-compress-zlib-perl - Perl interface to zlib p libio-zlib-perl - IO:: style interface to Compress::Zlib p libjzlib-java - Reimplementation of zlib in pure java i libzlib-ruby - transitional dummy package v libzlib-ruby1.8 - i zlib-bin - compression library - sample programs i zlib1g - compression library - runtime p zlib1g-dbg - compression library - development i A zlib1g-dev - compression library - development i zlibc - Uncompressing C Library Regards, Vikrant 2008/8/5 jinjing

What I did was to compile from source:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall

notice the darcs repo?

http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/

I used

runghc Setup configure --user --prefix=$HOME

to keep packages in user space, i.e. inside ~/.cabal folder.

well, How do I get cabal! on my ubuntu installation it gives me error saying libghc6-cabal-dev depends ghc < 6.6.1 but 6.8.2 installed!

Thats a known bug, but I cant remeber my workaround. Anyways I have installed

libhugs-cabal-bundled

IIRC from a gutsy-repository
