I built llvm 3.0, downloaded from here. I did:
./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ --enable-shared
sudo make -j5 -s install
Next, I cloned the LLVM bindings from here. I am trying:
runhaskell Setup configure
But I get:
Configuring llvm-3.0.0.0...
Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
llvm-base ==3.0.*, type-level -any
I am running Linux Mint 64-bit (equivalent to Ubuntu 11.0). GHC is 6.12.3. I tried a cabal install but apparently the llvm version is too old to run some examples (am I mistaken?).
What am I doing wrong?
Bryan recently split the llvm package in two, that split has not yet made it to hackage. So if you don't want to simply cabal install the hackage version,
install the type-level package (cabal install should work fine)
cd into the base subdirectory of the llvm-repo, install llvm-base
cd into the llvm directory, install
I have not tried it, so it might not work, but usually Bryan's repos are buildable, so there's a good chance that it does.

I'm trying to follow along with the Plutus Pioneer lectures, and I'm getting this error
My system:
Ubuntu Linux Docker image running on MacOS.
I installed the Haskell package on the image from here: https://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html
using this line in my Dockerfile: RUN apt-get install -y haskell-platform
This seems to install Cabal version 2.4.
When I clone the code repository for the lectures: https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-pioneer-program and then go to the week01 directory and try cabal build like in the lecture, I get dependencies not found errors. The first missing dependency is 'aeson', which seems to install if I run cabal install aeson.
The subsequent build attempts fail on dependency 'base' being the wrong version.
Then I thought maybe if I update Cabal to version 3.4 it might help, so I tried cabal install cabal-install, but this also has errors:
Theexception was:ExitFailure (-9)
This may be due to an out-of-memory condition.
So I googled some more and tried this command line: cabal install --ghc-options="+RTS -M600M" -j1 cabal-install from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/46148345/52236
This seems to get further, but now I'm at this error:
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.6.5 for x86_64-unknown-linux): heap overflow
If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be appreciated. Do I need to add more RAM to my Docker Ubuntu image? It currently has 1.9GB of memory and 1.7GB free.
thanks,
m
I fixed this by increasing the RTS param:
cabal install --ghc-options="+RTS -M1000M" -j1 cabal-install
Well, actually it compiled everything, but cabal --version still says 2.4, not 3.4. There was this warning too:
Warning: could not create a symlink in /root/.cabal/bin for cabal because the
file exists there already but is not managed by cabal. You can create a
symlink for this executable manually if you wish. The executable file has been
installed at /root/.cabal/bin/cabal
I've Redhat 7.2 running Cinnamon, and hate the docks provided, how come I can't resize the area a widgit is allocated? All apps are jammed into half the dock.
Drives me to compile cairo-dock from source as it isn't an ibm redhat blessed package.
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
...
-- checking for module 'wayland-client>=1.0.0'
-- package 'wayland-client>=1.0.0' not found

so I find gtk version is 3.14.13-16.el7 using yum list installed "gtk*"
I downloaded gtk 3.4.4 and compiled it and follow the INSTALL provided, sudo make install, which completes with no errors
rerunning cmake gives me the same error, so I'm wondering if I had to remove 3.14? I'm not really sure how best to proceed and thought it best to get some advice. I'm not really in the mood to break things. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Calvin, I'm also IBMer and installed RHEL7.2 from IBM's image.
I could successfully download the sources and install Cairo Docker and respective plugins.
I followed the instructions in this page here:
Glx-Dock - Generic:Compilation
First, install all dependencies below from official IBM repository.
I used the same package names for the Fedora dependencies and some may NOT exist for RHEL. Therefore, some plugins won't be available by fetching dependencies from official repository only - but the Cairo Docker will work.
sudo yum install cmake make pkgconfig gcc gcc-c++ gettext glib2-devel\
cairo-devel librsvg2-devel dbus-glib-devel libxml2-devel libXrender-devel\
mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel pango-devel libXxf86vm-devel\
libXtst-devel libXrandr-devel libX11-devel libcurl-devel gtk3-devel\
vte3-devel lm_sensors-devel libxklavier-devel libexif-devel\
libetpan-devel gnome-menus-devel alsa-lib-devel libical-devel\
upower-devel libzeitgeist-devel
Untar the packages and build with the commands described there except that you need to force the lib64 in both main and plugin builds with:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DFORCE_LIB64=yes
I want to install the latest Haskell Platform on my Raspberry Pi.
Unfortunately my linux-fu is very weak. I can apt-get install haskell-platform which works, as far as it goes, but installs a very old version from the official package repository. Part of the code I want to compile only compiles against GHC 7.8.
You can get the latest GHC Debian Packages from http://deb.haskell.org
Instructions for installation here
As the comments discuss, the experimental suite contains (very) recent ghcs (including ghc release candidates).
You can install packages from there like so:
apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install packagename
unstable also contains ghcs that are actually released.
And the generic linux binary platform also will work with debian.
I'm trying to install a library that uses gmp and am running the ./configure on it.
So far, I've gotten past several snags, such as requiring gcc, g++, and m4 by using:
yum install gcc
yum install gcc-g++
yum install m4
Now I'm getting this error:
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... no
configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:
see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ for more information.
When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.
As such, I tried both installing and updating gmp using yum:
yum install gmp
yum update gmp
Install tells me it's already installed and is v. 5.1.2
Updating says there's nothing to update.
I went to the gmp site and it is currently v. 6.0.0
I downloaded it and ran configure (using --enable-cxx), make, and make install.
Yet, nothing has changed. It still says I have v. 5.1.2 and the configure for the library still says it can't find 4.1.3 and above / try enabling c++.
The gmp files (such as gmp.h) are being placed in /usr/local/lib and /include
I've been at this for hours without any progress. I'm rather new to linux so I imagine there's something I just don't know about.
Am I not installing 6.0.0 correctly to overwrite the already installed one?
Or is there a way to reinstall the original with the c++ option?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
dnf install gmp-devel resolved this for me on rhel
When you manually install something, as you have, it doesn't get installed in the normal /usr/lib directory and therefore it doesn't overwrite it. This is a good thing. In general, you shouldn't mess with files installed by the package manager. (Except in the case that they are config files that are meant to be edited.)
When you install manually, it is installed to /usr/local/lib. Fortunately, GCC and other compilers don't care which directory something is installed in, they will find it (when it's in standard places like /usr/* or /usr/local/*).
Just include the C++ header and add the correct -l library flag.
I figured it out.
Under the --help section of the ./configure for the library I was trying to install, there was actually a feature just for this:
--with-gmp-include=DIR
--with-gmp-lib=DIR
Using these, I was able to get it to install.
Thanks for the help.
I think I was too focused on trying to update the system install of gmp.
I'm trying to set up Haskell from scratch, on Ubuntu 11.04, without using the outdated Debian repository or Haskell-Platform.
I've installed GHC-7.0.4 from source with no problem, and now need to install Cabal (which appears to already be included in GHC in /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.4/Cabal-1.10.2.0) and Cabal Install.
The latter specifies several dependencies (parsec and network), each of which has several dependencies of their own (mtl, text, etc).
What's the command to install these packages, that I downloaded from hackage in tar.gz form?
Unpack, then runhaskell doesn't work.
I see Setup.lhs, but it's not clear what that's for or how to use it.
Most of the Haskell documentation I've found assumes you've installed from a repo or Haskell-Package and doesn't really explain this well.
cabal-install has a shell script that does this. If you download it from hackage and install it, you can start bootstrap.sh to install cabal-install. You can then use it to install other packages.
There are two different packages: Cabal and cabal-install. Cabal is a library, and cabal-install is an executable named cabal.
To install a package, cabal-install is an optional convenience wrapper around Cabal, but Cabal is required.
According to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Libraries , Cabal is a 'zero-boot' package, so when you build GHC, Cabal and its dependencies are built for you automatically.
You can use ghc-pkg executable to check which packages are already installed:
# ghc-pkg list
Check if Cabal is in the list after you build GHC. If yes, you can install more packages without cabal-install using this documentation:
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal/How_to_install_a_Cabal_package
I suggest you to install cabal-install first, and then install everything else using cabal-install executable. A usual commandine for global installation is this:
# runhaskell Setup configure
# runhaskell Setup build
# sudo runhaskell Setup install
Unpack a package tarball and run the commands in the folder with Setup.hs or Setup.lhs files. Note that a per-user non-root installation is also supported - Use runhaskell Setup configure --user
When you install cabal executable and its dependencies this way, use cabal install {package-name} to install more packages.
Note that Haskell Platform exists mostly because of the pain of installing cabal-install by yourself.
