Trouble installing gogol

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hi, i'm relatively new to haskell and programming and I've been having some trouble installing gogol-core. I'm using a windows 10, 64 bit computer and I am trying to use cabal to install this but whenever I try to install it, it spits out an error about an Ambiguous occurrence 'Stream'. if anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated.

here is what cabal says when i try to install.

You're building an old version of gogol, which isn't compatible with servant versions newer than 0.12. The question, then, is why you're trying to install such an old version of gogol-core.

Have you run cabal update recently? If not, perhaps your cabal just doesn't know there's a newer one.
Are you actually trying to build some other code that depends on gogol? If so, are there upper bounds on the version in that project's cabal file?

For the record, the error you're running into was fixed in https://github.com/brendanhay/gogol/commit/e31ece9b325f14cfae54523ad6c15c84b06d3715

Hi, I tried reinstalling all of Haskell and cabal when i couldn't get it to work to see if it would fix it but still get the same errors. for the record i made sure to update cabal's list and made sure i had the lastest versions of gogol-core and servant.

* servant Synopsis: A family of combinators for defining webservices APIs Default available version: 0.14.1 Installed versions: 0.14.1 Homepage: http://haskell-servant.readthedocs.org/ License: BSD3

the code below is the error it spat out but from what i can tell it's the same issue as above

Oh yes, I see. Sadly, it doesn't look like there's been a Hackage release since https://github.com/brendanhay/gogol/commit/e31ece9b325f14cfae54523ad6c15c84b06d3715 You also need the uncommitted changes from https://github.com/brendanhay/gogol/pull/105.

For now, if you need to use gogol, your options are to either limit conduit and servant to older versions, or to fork gogol on github, apply the patches in that pull request, and build your own.

Hi, after following your advice and patching the latest version of gogol I've downloaded with #105 and #112 I've managed to successfully install gogol-core and gogol-gmail. Thank you!
