missing mtl (which exists) when installing filemanip package
I did the following: download filemanip-0.3.6.2.tar.gz tar xvf ... cd filemanip-0.3.6.2 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc -- it tells me Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: mtl -any, unix-compat -any So, I did the following: download unix-compat-0.4.1.0.tar.gz tar xvf ... cd unix-compat-0.4.1.0 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install -- under $HOME/ghc/lib I see unix-compat-0.4.1.0/ that was newly added by the Setup processes. -- under $HOME/ghc/lib I also see mtl-2.0.1.0/ This was there already before the above operations. Then, I went back cd filemanip-0.3.6.2 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc -- it tells me Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: mtl -any Question: why can't $HOME/ghc/lib/mtl-2.0.1.0/ be recognized during the above Setup configure ?? What do I need to do ? thanks HP ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

One solution is to pass '--user' to runhaskell Setup configure. HOWEVER, these days you should not call Setup directly. Instead, use the cabal-install tool (which comes with the Haskell platform). So you should just be able to say cabal install filemanip instead of downloading it manually and calling Setup. -Brent So, I did the following: download unix-compat-0.4.1.0.tar.gz tar xvf ... cd unix-compat-0.4.1.0 runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install -- under $HOME/ghc/lib I see unix-compat-0.4.1.0/ that was newly added by the Setup processes. -- under $HOME/ghc/lib I also see mtl-2.0.1.0/ This was there already before the above operations.

You need to see my http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/sicp.xhtml Existence of files is insufficient. Metadata trumps data. But there is one point I don't understand in Brent Yorgey's theory. Presumably, you are consistent, you also used Setup rather than cabal install for mtl. Therefore, mtl should also be in global. ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
