I think you need to install HAppS-Data etc globally... I'm not sure why locally installed (ie, only your user) packages wouldn't be picked up by runghc Setup.hs'ing, but if they are install system wide it should definitely work.

I think it is cabal --global install foo

The result is that I managed to install everything up to HAppS-State, which I think is the last dependency, but then seemed to hang indefinitely in the middle of installing HAppS-Server at the end.

OK, I thought, then perhaps I can do normal runghc Setup.hs after downloading and unzipping the tar from

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HAppS-Server-0.9....

However, this resulted in error

Strange, because I had just installed that module via cabal-install, and I could load it in ghci with :m +HappS.Data.

I then ran ghc-pkg and got this strange result that my packages were broken into two different files. Is this by design?

ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf: Cabal-1.2.3.0, Cabal-1.3.11, Cabal-1.5.2, DeepArrow-0.2, .... /home/thartman/.ghc/i386-linux-6.8.2/package.conf: HAppS-Data-0.9.2.1, HAppS-IxSet-0.9.2.1, HAppS-State-0.9.2.1,

I am curious if anybody else is able to install HAppS-Server using cabal install, and whether they can shed any light on the other isuses I raised.

mistaske, that last comment should have gone on another thread. 2008/5/29 Thomas Hartman :

By the way, it just finally finished.

I still think it took way too long.

I'm having issues trying to get cabal-install (latest darcs) installed, as well. I'm seeing the message:

Hackage/Types.hs:19:29: Module `Distribution.Version' does not export `Dependency'

which was mentioned on this list earlier. Updating to the latest darcs Cabal doesn't do the trick, it seems:

$ ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf: Cabal-1.3.10, Cabal-1.5.2, ...

I grabbed that 1.3.10 as a tarball snapshot.

If you used the tarball of Cabal then you'd want the corresponding tarball of cabal-install that was released at the same time. Otherwise the darcs version of one requires the darcs version of the other.

The darcs cabal installs Cabal-1.5.2, and it seemed that the darcs cabal-install wanted >= 1.3.11 && < 1.5, so I've no idea what to do here :)

I'll be making the 1.4 release from this branch: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-branches/cabal-1.4/ which is currently at version 1.3.11 since we've not hit 1.4 yet. Duncan

I think the reason it took longer to build HAppS-Server is that previously, when I was installing the MyProject example from happs.org I was using searchpath. I guess searchpath doesn't compile every single haskell module, whereas runghc Setup build and cabal install does. 2008/5/29 Spencer Janssen :

'cabal install' installs packages to your user database by default. However, 'Setup configure' only uses packages from the global database unless the --user flag is passed.

Yep, this is by design. The first is a global database that will require root access to modify. The second is your user database which you can modify without root access.

I tried building HAppS-server the other day, and had a similar experience. It seems that HAppS uses some incredibly elaborate TH/typeclass hacks that take gobs of resources to compile -- my box actually ran out of memory attempting to build it.
