(my previous attempt to write this to gtk2hs-users failed for some reason, let's try again) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eugene Kirpichov <eki...@gm...> Date: 2011/3/9 Subject: Re: Go go go! To: Don Stewart <do...@gm...> Копия: "has...@pr..." <Has...@pr...>, Mark Lentczner <mar...@gm...>, Mikhail Glushenkov <the...@gm...>, gtk...@so... I hope this is the right mail to respond to. I added gtk2hs-users@ because probably it's a problem in gtk2hs, not in cabal (I've no idea). I confess I did not invest time into investigating the reasons of these errors, but I figured that just reporting the problems is still better than nothing. I've downloaded the Windows installer by your link. I've tried to install a package of mine (timeplot) and was confronted with the inability to install glib (consequently everything gtk- and cairo-related). I attach two logs corresponding to different launches - curiously enough, it had different failures for -v2 and -v3. I think the "-v2" error is the root cause (unexpected package db stack: [UserPackageDB]) - has something changed in cabal with this respect? (relevant bug: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/731 ) I had the same error with e.g. cairo. However, the "-v3" error (like crashing because of a failure to log something) seems more annoying and dangerous. It was done on a Windows 7 machine, elevated command prompt of an admin account, however exactly the same happened under a non-elevated prompt. Installing everything under elevated prompt with "--global" essentially succeeded after a couple of tries (first time there was an error that the "colour" package failed to install, but it successfully installed with a subsequent "cabal install colour --global", which is weird). Except for one type-checking bug (this one, just filed http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5007 ) 2011/3/9 Don Stewart <do...@gm...>: > New cabal-install release, with the release stopper bugs gone.
