Installing Euterpea fails on MacOS High Sierra (version 10.13.6)

[ksvanhorn]

Following the instructions on the installation page, after installing ghcup, here's what I did and the result:

Run "cabal --version" and see what ghcup installed. It's possible the v1 clause listed in the installation instructions may solve it for you: "Cabal 3.x users: use cabal v1-update and cabal v1-install instead." (also noted here: [https://github.com/Euterpea/Euterpea2/issues/34])

[ksvanhorn]

mac> cabal --version cabal-install version 1.22.6.0 using version 1.22.5.0 of the Cabal library

[donya]

1.22 is a really old cabal version...I haven't seen Euterpea tried with <1.24 in a long time. 1.22 may not work anymore. Make sure you have at least ghc 8.0.2 (check with "ghc --version"). Unless you specifically asked for an old ghc version with ghcup, I'm puzzled as to how you ended up with 1.22 unless you have a competing version from an older, non-ghcup installation. If you have a recent ghc and somehow got an old cabal then try upgrading the cabal version.

I have version cabal 3.0.0.0

[donya]

This HCodecs issue doesn't seem to be the same thing as originally posted by ksvanhorn. GHC version? Also I need to see the command that ultimately resulted in the failure, not just the error at the end (complete transcripts from start to finish are most helpful; in this case the cabal install syntax is likely important since it's 3.x).

[donya]

So far I am unable to reproduce either of these issues with ghc 8.6.5 (via ghcup) and cabal 3.0.0.0 on Mojave (OS X 10.14). The Euterpea install succeeds without issue when using v1-style commands:

cabal v1-update cabal v1-install Euterpea (which fetches 2.0.7 from Hackage)

Similarly, GitHub installations succeed with Euterpea 2.0.8 on GitHub using "cabal v1-install" from the local repo copy.

I am no longer able to test on High Sierra, but I also somewhat doubt that the reported problems in this thread are a 10.13 vs 10.14 issue.

[ksvanhorn]

ghc --version gives 8.6.5.

I already have stack on my system. Could stack and ghcup be getting in each other's way? Note that I did "source ~/.ghcup/env" to ensure that ghcup would find things in the right places. When I check my $PATH variable, ~/.cabal/bin and ~/.ghcup/bin are first on the list. There is a different cabal in ~/.local/bin, installed there by stack, but that ~/.local/bin is much later in $PATH.

[ksvanhorn]

OK, this is weird. I just ran "cabal --version" again and got "cabal-install version 3.0.0.0". When I run "cabal install Euterpea" it still fails with the same error message about not being able to resolve dependencies.

[donya]

If you have cabal 3.x then you need to do "cabal v1-update" and then "cabal v1-install Euterpea" for it to work. Despite the other cabal verion you saw before, the errors you got about resolving dependencies do look to me like those coming from cabal 3. So, if cabal 3 is really what's being invoked then switching to v1-update and v1-install should to it.

I have seen some weirdness in the past with multiple ghc and/or cabal versions where they shouldn't be conflicting in theory but do in practice. If the v1- command trick doesn't work then I unfortunately don't have a good recommendation there beyond trying "ghcup set 8.6.5" if you didn't already run that and then, if that doesn't resolve it, seeing what happens if you remove the path entry for the older cabal version.

[ksvanhorn]

OK, that worked. I assume I also need to do "cabal v1-install HSoM" instead of "cabal install HSoM"?

[donya]

Yes, you'll need to use v1-install for HSoM as well. The same goes any other libraries that you want installed the traditional way (which is to say always available when you load up GHCi).

[andreatamez]

Hello I fixed by downgrading my GHCI to 8.5.6 when downgrading this it worked perfectly fine. Combining stack + cabal is not a good idea.
