Can't install Criterion package on ghc ..

[Mozhgan kabiri]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies .. I upgraded ghc to ghc 6.12 .. and installed
Criterion through cabal .. There is another problem here which I really
don't know if it is due to the ghc version or the dependencies or my OS
version !!!

I installed Criterion package,libpng, gnuplot .. and lots of other packages
which seemed to be useful !

Unfortunately when I run the below command it gives me errors at the end and
says it can’t plot the png output .

./profile -t png:500×175 -k png:500×175

..

..

..

output type PNG 500 175 not supported on this platform
output type PNG 500 175 not supported on this platform


Why is it so ? What else do I need to be able to actually see the graphical
result ?

Do I have to install gtk2hs as well ?

Actually, I installed gtk2hs-0.10.1, but it seems that it can’t be installed
completely on ghc 6.12 !!

Below is the error I get after running make and make install : (before, I am
not sure if my question is related to this thread or not .. sorry in
advance)

For example I get this error at the end, after I run make :

  make: *** [package.conf.inplace] Error 1

make: *** Deleting file `package.conf.inplace'

and I get this one at the end, when I run make install :

ghc: can’t find a package database at package.conf.inplace
make: *** [glib/System/Glib.o] Error 1

Is there any way to get this fixed ? Do I really have to install gtk2hs ?

Thanks,
