I'm trying to use the latest release of EclipseFP. Upon start, the scion-browser setup initializes, with everything going well until trying to install scion-browser-0.1. I get the following error in my Eclipse console:
...
Loading package double-conversion-0.2.0.1 ... linking ... ghc: /home/dpm/.cabal/lib/double-conversion-0.2.0.1/ghc-7.0.3/HSdouble-conversion-0.2.0.1.o: unknown symbol `_ZNK17double_conversion6Double5valueEv'
ghc: unable to load package `double-conversion-0.2.0.1'
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
scion-browser-0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Apparently, ghc-pkg seems to think everything is OK with this package (ghc-pkg check prints nothing). Reinstalling double-conversion through cabal also changes nothing. Anybody any idea what's going on? I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 Linux, GHC 7.0.3 from the Haskell-Platform.
As indicated here :
close your eclipse and run this in your terminal:
cabal install blaze-textual --user -fnative --reinstall
cabal install aeson --user --reinstall
then, restart your eclipse.

I'm completely new to Haskell and I'm trying to replicate the code.world environment locally, so I need to install codeworld-api so that I can import CodeWorld. The problem is that when I run cabal install codeworld-api, it fails, and the following errors occur:
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
codeworld-api-0.7.0-JVbla7smM91CfqAXV0vVqz depends on codeworld-api-0.7.0
which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.23.1-Z8xb2tkymYIClPofvAOw3 failed during the configure
step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-meta-0.8.7-GrcU6O1imfWLP5hRNzLFKK depends on

haskell-tests-0.1.0.0-IkWvWTmkph53PXtIhZGNWg depends on haskell-tests-0.1.0.0
which failed to install.
reflex-0.8.1.0-5XPDDia7wXx4bpQRZBxYDv depends on reflex-0.8.1.0 which failed
to install.
I also tried to add codeworld-api in the build-depends section in .cabal, but nothing changes.
I've read this, but --allow-newer also does nothing.
I tried, with no success:
cabal update
cabal install Cabal cabal-install
cabal new-install codeworld-api
cabal new-build
codeworld-api also doesn't show up in ghc-pkg list.
I have no idea what's happening...
Platform info
Ubuntu 20.04
cabal-install version 2.4.0.0
Cabal library version 2.4.0.1
ghc version 8.6.5
Packages installed from apt:
ghc
ghc-doc
cabal-install
I have been unable to install any packages using Cabal, getting an error saying that the tar archive is not in the expected directory. For example, if I try to do, cabal install mtl, I get the following error:
Resolving dependencies...
Failed to install text-1.2.1.1
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
text-1.2.1.1 failed while unpacking the package. The exception was:
user error (File in tar archive is not in the expected directory. Expected:
"." but got the following hierarchy: ["text-1.2.1.1"])
I have run cabal update, and cabal --version gives the following:
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.22.5.0
using version 1.22.4.0 of the Cabal library
Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening? Let me know if you need any additional information.
That version of cabal-install had a big making it almost completely unusable. Upgrading should solve this problem.
I am having lots of problems with cabal-install:
1: Every time I do cabal update, it tells me to do cabal install cabal-install, so I do, and then when I do cabal update again, it says the same thing.
2: When I try to install ghc-mod from hackage, it gives me this error:
[username#arch ~]$ cabal install ghc-mod
In order, the following will be installed:
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 (reinstall) changes: pretty-1.1.1.1 -> 1.1.1.0
hlint-1.8.55 (reinstall)
ghc-mod-3.1.4
setup: The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.
ghc-mod-3.1.4 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 failed during the configure step.
hlint-1.8.55 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 which failed to install.
So the problem was The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found., so I installed happy 1.19.2 using cabal install happy without problems.
I tried cabal install ghc-mod again, same error, so I tried cabal install haskell-src-exts --reinstall --force-reinstalls. It gave me the following error:
[username#arch ~]$ cabal install haskell-src-exts --reinstall --force-reinstalls
Configuring haskell-src-exts-1.14.0...
setup: The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.
Failed to install haskell-src-exts-1.14.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Basically The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.. So happy is the problem again?
I have also tried downloading the tar.gz files from hackage and using cabal install on the
.cabal file, also modified the .cabal file to ignore dependencies, still failed.
cabal install places executables in ~/.cabal/bin.
If you add it to your path, you will be able to use the new executables installed by cabal:
$ PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
I encountered with same problem and I solved the problem with installing happy package(confusing package name). So install it with your package manager(apt-get, pacman etc) before install package with cabal. This should be fix the problem.

I was having this same problem on OSX Mavericks. To get Idris to compile, I used homebrew to install gmp, then I had to do 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig', and then 'cabal install idris -f-LLVM'. I got the tip to export the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable from this site:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/idris-lang/gxcdvRIA2OI/NqKSd4zHkI4J
Mavericks already had libffi installed, and I didn't want to install a second copy from source, which is what the PKG_CONFIG_PATH trick helped me avoid. Do 'brew info libffi' to find the correct path to export. Hopefully someone will create a homebrew formula for Idris soon...
The first error indicates you should install the LLVM development packages of your distribution (not through cabal) and the second indicates you should install the development package for the GCC libffi library. What Linux distribution are you using? Or are you on Windows/Mac?
hi i'm trying to install, (without having to update or install the latest compiler),reactive-banana-wx and one of the requirement's are failing
cabal install reactive-banana-wx
and heres the error

when i try to cabal install wxcore ,wx or wxc they all say failed and point towards wxc being required.
here's the error
cabal install wxc

here's my compiler info if it would be useful
ghc -v
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 7.0.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 7.0.4
I've got the same error trying to install phooey with ghc 7.4.1 on Debian tonight. The reason is a bug in the package wxc-0.90.0.4 and it should affect all wxHaskell-based packages. You can fix it, there is no need to downgrade your wxc package...
The easiest way to reproduce it is to do
cabal install wxc
or
cabal install glade
It might be a good idea to make sure that all prerequisites are in place, before you do it. wxc depends on a number of cabal and Linux packages and all of them should be installed and compiled... I did it in the most stupid way possible, just by running
cabal install wxc
and reading error messages which it spills out. This sweetie usually tells you what it wants... For instance, if it complains about cabal package x, just do cabal install x. If it complains about Linux package y, then use your Linux package manager and install the development version of this package, which is called normally lib<y>-dev in Debian. So, for instance, if
cabal install wxc
gives you an error saying that package gtk+2.0 is missing, you want to do
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
The same story with cairo, glade2 and other GTK-related libraries
When you are green with all prerequisites, you want to install wxWidgets-2.9, which is currently in the Development stage... so, it doesn't have any binaries for Linux and you should build it yourself. Download the source code from wxWidgets website and build it. It is pretty easy to do, just:
untar/unzip the source code to your favorite directory
run ./config
run ./make
If you are on wxc-0.90.0.4, at this moment you should encounter our little bug... To keep the long story short, it is in the file eljpen.cpp, which you can find in
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/wxc/0.90.0.4/wxc-0.90.0.4.tar.gz
Open the archive, go to the line 159 in the file and replace *_ref = NULL; with _ref = NULL or anything else what makes more sense. Then recreate the archive in the same place with the fixed eljpen.cpp file in it.
run ./make
It should work now.
run sudo make install (normally, you should have root privileges to insatll wxWidgets library...).
after it is done try to do
cabal install wx
again. It should be working now. I guess, after that you can enjoy your reactive-banana-wx, wxHaskell, phooey, etc.
PS http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3576397&group_id=73133&atid=536845. Why didn't I find it earlier? :/
I'v solved this problem on Lubuntu 12.10 so:
sudo cabal info wx
Synopsis: wxHaskell
Versions available: 0.11.1.2, 0.12.1.4, 0.12.1.5, 0.12.1.6, 0.13.2,
0.13.2.1, 0.13.2.3, 0.90, 0.90.0.1 (and 11 others)
I picked out different versions of wxHaskell, but only 0.13.2.3 was right.
sudo cabal install wx-0.13.2.3
...and everything has compiled and installed. Then I could install:
sudo cabal install reactive-banana-wx -fbuildExamples
That's no depends on the version of your Glasgow Haskell Compiler or the sort of your Linux.
