[Haskell-beginners] diagrams installation trouble

Mon May 17 12:06:29 EDT 2010

Hi folks,

I'm trying to install Brent Yorgey's diagrams library.  I'm having
trouble getting the Haskell bindings to the Cairo library installed
correctly and/or visible.

As you can see below, I have the Haskell Cairo stuff installed at
/usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/cairo-0.10.1

I did this with something like
$ sudo aptitude install libghc6-cairo-dev
In other words, I used the ubuntu package system to install this.

You can also see that ghc-pkg does not see this installation.
I thought I might be able to fix the problem by registering
these packages with 'ghc-pkg register', but I can't get that
to work.

Finally (and this is not shown below) I tried to compile gtk2hs from
source.  I seem to have had a successful './configure' step, but then
I fail at the 'make' step, for a similar reason.  The system can't
find the cairo and similar files at /usr/lib/haskell-packages

One more point about my system might be important.
I installed GHC 6.10 using the ubuntu installer, then
compiled 6.12 from source, then installed the most recent
haskell-platform.

I would greatly appreciate any help you all could provide.

Thanks,

Scott
