Hi, when installing pandoc package, which has digest somewhere in dependencies the usual cabal install stucks because zlib.h is missing, so I explicitly installed zlib package first, then installing digest (can also replace that directly with pandoc here) with the --extra-include-dirs parameter set: Prelude System.Cmd>
rawSystem "cabal" ["install", "digest", "-v3", "--user", "-- build-log=d:/temp/log/build-$$pkgid-$$compiler-msys.log", "--reinstall", "--data dir=$$prefix/haskell-pkgdata", "--extra-include-dirs=C:\\Users\\daniel\\AppData\ \Roaming\\cabal\\zlib-0.5.2.0\\ghc-6.12.1\\include"]
Is there something to improve in one of the packages cabal file to overcome the need to explicitly specify the header file locations of already installed packages or is that a consequence of not installing them as developer packages simply, so i. e. to have the header file zlib.h at the specified location is more a bonus to have in that situation?

I'm guessing that the problem is that you're installing the packages to a non-standard location, but I don't use Windows so I can't confirm or check this in any way. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

I had a similar or the same problem with digest and zlib.h two months ago, which I reported to the Haskell platform trac [1]. Tillmann [1] http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/124
