POGTK2HS fails to install with recent cabal versions
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm starting a new project that will hopefully use gtk2hs. However, I can not get this package to install on my fairly typical Linux box. Here is the failure :</p> <pre><code>[1 of 2] Compiling SetupWrapper ( /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs, /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/dist/dist-sandbox-58b5f9c6/setup/SetupWrapper.o ) /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:94:45: Ambiguous occurrence `moreRecentFile' It could refer to either `SetupWrapper.moreRecentFile', defined at /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:149:1 or `Distribution.Simple.Utils.moreRecentFile', imported from `Distribution.Simple.Utils' at /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:8:1-32 /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:95:45: Ambiguous occurrence `moreRecentFile' It could refer to either `SetupWrapper.moreRecentFile', defined at /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:149:1 or `Distribution.Simple.Utils.moreRecentFile', imported from `Distribution.Simple.Utils' at /tmp/cairo-0.12.4-4201/cairo-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:8:1-32 Failed to install cairo-0.12.4 [1 of 2] Compiling SetupWrapper ( /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs, /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/dist/dist-sandbox-58b5f9c6/setup/SetupWrapper.o ) /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:94:45: Ambiguous occurrence `moreRecentFile' It could refer to either `SetupWrapper.moreRecentFile', defined at /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:149:1 or `Distribution.Simple.Utils.moreRecentFile', imported from `Distribution.Simple.Utils' at /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:8:1-32 /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:95:45: Ambiguous occurrence `moreRecentFile' It could refer to either `SetupWrapper.moreRecentFile', defined at /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:149:1 or `Distribution.Simple.Utils.moreRecentFile', imported from `Distribution.Simple.Utils' at /tmp/glib-0.12.4-4201/glib-0.12.4/SetupWrapper.hs:8:1-32 Failed to install glib-0.12.4 </code></pre> <p>It seems to be related to recent cabal versions, since that used to work before. It seems to be a known bug (<a href="http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1292" rel="noreferrer">http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1292</a> , <a href="http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1291" rel="noreferrer">http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1291</a> and <a href="http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1289" rel="noreferrer">http://trac.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ticket/1289</a>), however it has not moved for weeks. I am not sufficiently competent to suggest a good fix, so I would like your advice. This is very annoying since I am stuck on this important project, and it pains me to think that the main GUI lib of our language has been broken for many weeks now.</p> <p>cabal-install version 1.18.0.2 using version 1.18.1.1 of the Cabal library / ghc 7.4.1</p> <p>Thanks for your help</p>
