Hi Cafe, today I opened the command prompt and typed "cabal install ftphs". Then I read:
> Resolving dependencies... > Configuring network-2.3.0.5... And I started to feel confused. Because I already have installed that package with that version! I continued reading: > cabal: The package has a './configure' script. This requires a Unix > compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin. Yes, I knew this would happen! (thought I don't like it with a so common-used library) But I can't understand why cabal is trying to install network-2.3.0.5. If I type "ghc-pkg list" I can see precisely network-2.3.0.5 is installed. In fact, 2.3.0.5 is the version that comes with the Haskell Platform I recently installed (2011.4.0.0) as you can see here: http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal. Could someone, please, explain me this? I will be very glad. I was working with ghc-7.4 but I needed the network package so I switched to the Haskell Platform, because install network in Windows is painful. Yes, I read the Mitchell guide (found in http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com.es/2010/12/installing-haskell-network-library-on.html), but once I installed the library I was having compile time error with "unknown symbol" errors. I felt very odd so I switched this machine to the Haskell Platform. I hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance, Daniel Díaz.
