No, it is not. I used configure/make way. Well I just noticed that there is a "hide-all-package" options to ghc. I do not know why. Maybe the author went crazy. On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Magnus Therning wrote:

Hi,  Today, when I compiled gtk2hs, I got this: cairo/Graphics/Rendering/Cairo.hs.pp:264:0:    Failed to load interface for `Data.Array.Base':      it is a member of the hidden package `array-0.2.0.0'      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.  As usual, I searched for the resolvement. No luck. And seems like this problem (not particularly to this package) is very common.  I wonder how to resolve it?

Is it compiled using Cabal?  In that case you need to add array as a dependency.

Just joking. But still, since gtk2hs still using the configure/make way, it is complex to add another option to the system. I tried to add array to build-depends of Cairo.cabal, no luck. On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Magnus Therning wrote:

Chances are the auther DIDN'T go crazy :-)

It's a common practice to hide all packages, and then only bring the ones needed into visibility.  I doubt that Gtk2hs is completely self contained, so somewhere in there is the directives that makes the needed packages visible again.  Just add array and you should be past this particular hurdle.
