Hi Libraries,
cabal-install tries to pull in unix-2.3.2.0 in it's install plan when installing cabal-install, but it doesn't successfully install for me under Ubuntu 9.10.
Here's some cut'n'paste of what I've tried:
$ cabal unpack unix-2.3.2.0 Downloading unix-2.3.2.0... Unpacking to unix-2.3.2.0/
$ cd unix-2.3.2.0/
$ cabal install <snip> Building unix-2.3.2.0...
dist/build/System/Posix/Signals.hs:127:0: error: Signals.h: No such file or directory cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: unix-2.3.2.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1
$ find . | grep Signals ./System/Posix/Signals.hsc ./System/Posix/Signals ./System/Posix/Signals/Exts.hsc
unix-2.3.0.1 seems to have the same problem, and cabal-install can't form a valid install plan for unix-2.3.0.0. I have hsc2hs in my path at version 0.67, and I'm using GHC 6.12.1. Is there some step I'm missing?
unix-2.3.x won't build using GHC 6.12.1, because we moved some header files. Use unix-2.4.x instead (which also works with older GHCs). Cheers, Simon
