Re: network package
Thanks for everyone's help with this so far. However, I'm having some problems using cabal: Whenever I try to runghc Setup.hs install a cabal file (I've tried parsec and network) I get an error message similar to this: Setup.hs: parsec.cabal:15: Unknown field 'build-type' I tried to install Cabal from darcs and I also got an error message when trying to configure: Setup.lhs: cabal-install.cabal:30: Invalid syntax (no colon after field name) Does anyone else have these problems? Or, am I doing something obviously wrong? Thanks, Chris.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/filepath-1.0 $ which runghc /usr/local/packages/ghc-6.8.2/bin/runghc That's fine. The issue is that cabal-install requires a new version of 'cabal', which you can find here, http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Cabal-1.2.3.0 Though cabal-install may well require the darcs version of cabal (I'm not sure). http://haskell.org/cabal/code.html -- Don ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

It's not installed by default. You can find it on hackage.haskell.org, http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network-2.1.0.0 Yet it's still available in the extralibs tarball. Real slackers just extract extralibs on top of the normal ghc source tarball to get most (not all) of the beloved packages built for free. Just FYI, here are some notes I scribbled down for myself a few days ago when I did some work on the OpenBSD port of GHC (comparing 6.6.1 against 6.8.2 and comparing that against hackage.haskell.org): New (wrt 6.6.1): array, bytestring, containers, directory, hpc, old-locale, old-time, packedstring, parallel, pretty, process, random. Removed from the ghc sources (make separate ports fetching them from hackage): HGL, X11. Note that X11-extras (i.e. port x11/hs-x11-extras) is obsolete now. Available in the extralibs distfile: HUnit, OpenGL, QuickCheck, cgi, fgl, haskell-src, html, mtl, network, parallel, parsec, regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix, stm, time, xhtml.
