I grabbed the latest from darcs, and upon attempting to run
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
I got the response:
Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
binary >=0.4.2, bzlib >=0.4.0.0
But I have those particular libraries installed in cabal. Am I missing an additional parameter?
When you run "runhaskell Setup.lhs configure" cabal will try to install it globally. I am guessing that your two libraries are installed as a user (which is the default for cabal-install): run "ghc-pkg list" and check if binary and bzlib are under the user section. Cabal will not let you install global packages that depend on user-local packages, and that's for a good reason. It is however rather confusing.
You can either tack on "--global" when you run cabal-install if you want bzlib and binary installed globally, or you can tack on "--user" when you "runhaskell Setup.lhs configure" for the timber compiler.
