Friends Can anyone help Kathleen out? She has a cabal-install issue. I think she's on a Mac.
Many thanks Simon From: Kathleen Fisher [mailto:kathleen.fis...@gmail.com] Sent: 16 February 2010 22:54 To: Simon Peyton-Jones Subject: Fwd: Installing syb(-0.1.03) package in head version of Haskell Hi Simon, I'm trying to get the PADS file we were working on compiling under the HEAD version of Haskell, but I'm having trouble getting the Data.Generics module to install. I sent the question below to the librar...@haskell.org<mailto:librar...@haskell.org> last week, but I haven't seen any replies. Is that the right address? Or is there a different place to ask such questions? Thanks for any pointers!

I believe I am using the most recent version of cabal: kfisher-laptop:/Users/kfisher/pads/dirpads/language-c-quote>~/.cabal/bin/cabal --version cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.1 of the Cabal library When I ask cabal to install the syb package, I get the following error: kfisher-laptop:/Users/kfisher/pads/dirpads/language-c-quote>~/.cabal/bin/cabal install -w ~/sw/ghc-head/bin/ghc Resolving dependencies...
