[Haskell-beginners] Installing HDBC

[Kathleen Lynch]

Eureeka!

Your info helped...I can't thank you enough...
I can now connect to the database shown in "Real World Haskell" - I was just 
about ready to give up...

Now if I can only get GTK and my Mac to work...well we'll start that 
tomorrow...enuf to do today...

Thank you

Ps
If anyone want to get a task force started in regard to installing Sqlite3 
and GTK, I'll definitely participate...

Kathleen,

Grab this: http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3070500.zip
Extract the sqlite3.dll file from inside, copy it to c:\users\user and
to c:\windows\system32

Grab: http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-autoconf-3070500.tar.gz
Extract the sqlite3.h file from inside, copy it to c:\users\user

Then

> cabal install 
> HDBC-sqlite3 --extra-include-dirs=C:\Users\User --extra-lib-dirs=C:\Users\User

should work.

I have only installed it though, I didn't run it.
