Hi Axel, I first tried cabal install appindicator-0.1, which failed and seem to indicate is was a distro package. So I looked for something with that name in Synaptic on Ubuntu.
There were two packages in the Ubuntu repo with a similar name to what cabal mentioned -- gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 was already installed, but gir1.2-appindicator-0.1 was not. I tried installing the latter but it made no difference. However, the distro package that Andrew pointed out made things work, yet is not named very similarly to what cabal was mentioning (and it did not seem to depend on anything else either), so I am not sure what the relationship is between libappindicator-dev and appindicator-0.1 (or the "1" and "3" versions of everything relating to app indicators in the Ubuntu repo). Strange. Thanks again :) On 08/29/2012 02:09 AM, Axel Simon wrote: > Hi Anthropornis, > > On 28.08.2012, at 23:04, Anthropornis Nordenskjoldi wrote: > >> Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, and when trying to install >> happindicator to try to the indicator example[1] on the Ubuntu App >> Developer site, I get the following output: >> >> $ cabal install happindicator >> Resolving dependencies... >> >> /tmp/happindicator-0.0.4-2272/happindicator-0.0.4/Gtk2HsSetup.hs:25:2: >> warning: #warning Setup.hs is guessing the version of Cabal.
