hmatrix-static hasn't been brought up to ghc-6.12. I think array-0.2.0.0
doesn't build with 6.12, since some of the low-level IO stuff has been
changed. The allowed versions of haskell-src-meta and hmatrix seem also not
to work with 6.12.
What might work is
$ cabal install hmatrix
(will probably install hmatrix-0.9.3.0)
$ cabal unpack hmatrix-static
$ cd hmatrix-static-0.3
open the .cabal file in your favourite editor, change the build-depends
from array==0.2.* to array >= 0.3 && < 0.4, from haskell-src-
meta>=0.0.3.1&&<0.0.7 to haskell-src-meta >= 0.1 && < 0.2 and from
hmatrix==0.7* to hmatrix >= 0.9 && < 0.10, change the version of hmatrix-
static to 0.3.0.1, save the changed .cabal file and then
$ cabal install
(no arguments)
Or try to get the maintainer to do the work to get it to build with 6.12.
