Hi everyone I have some problem for install 'cabal-install package' I downloaded and succesfully build a binary source ghc-7.0.2. Then I want to install cabal-0.10.2 and ı see some warning and last output like this Linking Setup ... Configuring Cabal-1.10.1.0... Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: base >=4 && <3 && >=2 && <5, unix >=2.0 && <2.5
For what it's worth, I got this while manually bootstrapping haskell-platform onto a GHC HEAD build and it turned out to be a complex interaction between unix, network, bytestring, and base versions. Cabal's ability to report such things is limited, to say the least. (More specifically: I'd have to go through the bootstrap again to get the full details, but Cabal somehow managed to conclude that it needed a version of base with bytestring in it at the same time that it needed a modern version of base, and this was triggered somehow by newer versions of network which have subsumed the old network-bytestring package. IIRC it actually made a certain twisted sense at the time.) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
