Error building under Gutsy #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install all the dependencies
2. Rune make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should make.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Checkout from svn. r1285.

Please provide any additional information below.

~/Vendors/pandoc/trunk$ make
ghc -package Cabal Setup.hs -o ./setup

Setup.hs:2:0:
    Failed to load interface for `Distribution.Simple.Setup':
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
make: *** [setup] Error 1

Looking at my installed libraries, I have a Distribution.Setup but no
Distribution.Simple.Setup.

For information, I was able to build release 44.

Could you send the output of 'ghc-pkg list', 'which ghc', and 'ghc --version'?
Thanks.  The problem is due to changes in Setup.hs, which now depends on a 
recent
version of Cabal.  Probably this should be documented, and a workaround 
provided.

Note that v 0.46 should build fine on Gutsy, and the development version in SVN
should build fine on Hardy, which has a more recent version of Cabal.

Here you have:
$ ghc-pkg list
/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf:
    Cabal-1.1.3, Cabal-1.1.6.2, base-2.1.1, filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6.1),
    haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0.1, network-2.0.1, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0,
    regex-base-0.72, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0,
    stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.1, unix-2.1, xhtml-3000.0.2
$ which ghc
/usr/bin/ghc
$ ghc --version

The problem is that pandoc now requires Cabal 1.2.3 or higher.  (That is the
version included with ghc 6.8.2, and the version in Ubuntu Hardy.)
Your best immediate fix, if you don't want to upgrade to Hardy, is to
install Cabal 1.2.3 from source, and then try pandoc again.
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Cabal-1.2.3.0

Please post a followup message if that doesn't work.

I should also document this requirement in INSTALL.

Ok, then, I will do an upgrade to Hardy this WE. It will simplify everything. 
Thanks
a lot for your speed in responding to this issue!

Maybe you can "wont-fix" this bug as anyway I have upgraded to Hardy and I don't
think that many people will try to build it with Gutsy.

Added note to INSTALL about Cabal >= 1.2 dependency in r1296.
