[wxhaskell-users] Problem installing wxhaskell on Ubuntu

From: Jesse H. <hes...@gm...> - 2010-10-17 20:59:28

Hi,

I recently moved from Windows to Ubuntu, and I'm having trouble getting
wxhaskell. When I run "cabal install wx" I get the following error message:

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
wx-0.12.1.6 depends on wxcore-0.12.1.6 which failed to install.
wxcore-0.12.1.6 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1


I asked for help on #haskell but to no avail. :( Does anyone know what I
need to do here?

Thanks,

Jesse

I already had the first package mentioned on that page, and after installing
the second package the new message is:

package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure.

Hmm, what a helpful exception!

Could I just check that wxWidgets really is installed?
I think http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Linux
talks about the relevant packages.

If you do work out how to get unstuck, it might be good
to update that wiki page for future users.

OK, this looks fairly mysterious to me, but seems more like a general
#haskell type question than one for the wxhaskell-users list.  It seems
you're depending on two different versions of containers-0.3.0.0, one
built against array-0.3.0.0, and one against array-0.3.0.1

I don't have a good idea how this sort of thing happens, but I suspect
the #haskell folks could be more helpful now with the new chunk of
information you found.

You may want to see section 4.8.5 in
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/users_guide/packages.html

Sorry!

Unfortunately I'm being ignored on there. :(

Thanks for taking a look though.

Well, you may have better luck another time, or also on haskell-cafe.
#haskell tends to be very friendly from my experience.

What would help is your ghc-pkg dump output and also the version of
the GHC and the Haskell Platform you are using (assuming you are using
the Haskell Platform, which is not 100% essential).

I *think* you want the version of containers that uses
array-0.3.0.1 as this is what seems to ship with the version of
haskell-platform I had installed (the one that goes with
GHC 6.12.3)
