Hi, I've been facing some problems with haskell-ng and cabal-install. I would like to use ghc 7.8.4 and cabal-install 1.20.x. I try to install cabal-install as follows:
$ nix-env -f ~/nixpkgs -i -A haskell-ng.packages.ghc784.cabal-install The build fails because of missing dependencies : [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, /tmp/nix-build-cabal-install-1.20.0.3.drv-0/Main.o ) Linking Setup ... configuring configureFlags: --verbose --prefix=/nix/store/rzlbizs8c173gby60hvdmhzdln7n60bb-cabal-install-1.20.0.3 --libdir=$prefix/lib/$compiler --libsubdir=$pkgid --with-gcc=gcc --package-db=/tmp/nix-build-cabal-install-1.20.0.3.drv-0/package.conf.d --ghc-option=-optl=-Wl,-rpath=/nix/store/rzlbizs8c173gby60hvdmhzdln7n60bb-cabal-install-1.20.0.3/lib/ghc-7.8.4/cabal-install-1.20.0.3 --ghc-option=-j4 --enable-split-objs --disable-library-profiling --enable-shared --enable-library-vanilla --enable-executable-dynamic --disable-tests Configuring cabal-install-1.20.0.3...
