[Haskell-beginners] Cabal issues

[Anand Patil]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install hmatrix-static using Cabal. I installed the Haskell
Platform for Mac yesterday from hackage.haskell.org/platform. I've been
having build problems, and one of them is with haskell-src-exts. The output
of cabal install haskell-src-exts -v ends in:

Building haskell-src-exts-1.9.0...

    cpphs-1.11-20b9349b60ba9e187ce20bacef8124a5 is unusable due to missing
or recursive dependencies:
      haskell98-1.0.1.1-0fdaf3b26bc38c43ce8371edf538dbf6
    (use -v for more information)
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haskell-src-exts-1.9.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

However, cabal install cpphs --reinstall works fine. Any help getting past
this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Anand
