cabal install mysql-simple fails #15

Open dhjdhj opened 10 years ago

dhjdhj commented 10 years ago

Tried to just install from cabal. Amongst the many weapons (I mean errors) were

..... Configuring mysql-0.1.1.6... setup: The program 'mysql_config' is required but it could not be found ..... ..... ..... Building pcre-light-0.4.0.2... Preprocessing library pcre-light-0.4.0.2... Base.hsc:103:10: fatal error: 'pcre.h' file not found

include

....

Fails same way if I pull this source

Seems like this can help

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

I met the same pcre-light install error on Macosx. If you have installed brew, try run brew install pcre or brew upgrade pcre can solve the problem
