Yes it should have been. This is a shame since this is actually Cabal failing. The documentation states that you can retrieve data files in your installed Haskell programs using import Paths_gtk2hs_buildtools (getDataFileName) and later getDataFileName "hierarchyGen/hierarchy.list" These two lines are from gtk2hsTypeGen. The fact that this fails is most likely a misconfiguration in the cabal file or a bug in Cabal itself. Is the gtk2hs-buildtools-0.9 directory anywhere else? For example under ~/.cabal ? So this has nothing to do with pango but with tools/hierarchyGen and its cabal file tools/gtk2hs-buildtools.cabal. The reason this doesn't fail with glib and cairo is that they neither generate a type hierarchy nor do they have signals, so neither tool is run. Could you check what happens when you install the gtk2hs-buildtools package? cabal install -v gives me amongst others: copy hierarchyGen/hierarchy.list to /Users/simona/.cabal/share/gtk2hs-buildtools-0.9/hierarchyGen/ hierarchy.list Creating /Users/simona/.cabal/share/gtk2hs-buildtools-0.9/hierarchyGen (and its parents) which is the standard path for me when I configure with --user. Thanks for bearing with us!
