 The Haskell Platform is currently for GHC 6.10.4, not 6.12.1.  Assuch,
 there's no guarantees.

Ah, that makes sense of course.  But what about cabal?  Is it possible
to get cabal working without having the ghc package installed?

Isn't there a way to set the whole thing up from the latest GHC,
without dependence on distribution repositories?

Thanks again,
Andrew

[Haskell-cafe] problems installing ghc-6.12.1-x86_64

2010-01-21 Thread Andrew Polonsky
Dear all,

Help!!  I am trying to build 6.12 on a fresh 64-bit Ubuntu, with no
GHC installed yet.  The compiler itself builds happily, but when I try
to make install the Haskell platform, I eventually get the error

Setup: GLUT-2.1.1.2: dependency
OpenGL-2.2.1.1-b638210d1627880d532e3b035b53bcd2 doesn't exist (use --force
to override)

I can't even install cabal, because it requires having the ghc6
package, which is not installed.  And bootstrapping cabal-install
requires parsec and network, which also require ghc6.

When I finally install ghc6 (why should I have to anyway?), it still
thinks I am on 6.12, and ./bootstrap.sh can't find parsec with that
number.

Is there anyway to break out of this non-terminating reduction?  Is YI
solvable?  :'(

Andrew
