Cannot install accelerate-cuda in Haskell - haskell

Question

I am on a linux box and trying to experiment with Haskell's Accelerate library but having problems installing it. I have successfully installed the accelerate package but there seems to be a dependency problem, which I have detailed below.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
accelerate-cuda-0.14.0.0 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
cuda-0.5.1.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-meta-0.6.0.5 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
language-c-quote-0.7.6 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
I searched SO and noticed someone else had a similiar issue installed the cuda package, and was resolved by adding the cabal bin path to the PATH; I tried this but it didn't solve this problem.
Please could someone help as I really keen to play with this fantastic library.

Answer 1

I wanted to check accelerate-examples and play with them and I also didn't have CUDA GPU (AMD only) and that's how I eventually installed accelerate-examples with stack:
git clone https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-examples
cd accelerate-examples
#choose version:
ln stack-8.6.yaml stack.yaml
#build without CUDA targeting:
stack build --flag accelerate-examples:-llvm-ptx --flag accelerate-fft:-llvm-ptx
Installation will build all the examples and print the info regarding where they was put.
Might also need to specify GHC libs path with something like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.6.5/lib/ghc-8.6.5/rts/
Also checked that accelerate installs as well the same way but even without specifying any flags (I guess because it doesn't build any programs yet?), but examples are what's fun :)
P.S. You can move llvm-ptx flags to stack.yaml config: change # flags: {} line to:
flags:
accelerate-fft:
llvm-ptx: false
accelerate-examples:
llvm-ptx: false
