[Haskell-cafe] How to thoroughly clean up Haskell stuff on linux

[Thomas Hartman]

wayll... it (haddock at least) really is easy on deb/ubu with apt.

I've found a lot of stuff is harder to install on Suse back when I was 
using that, and I think Suse/Redhat suffer from the same problems.

not that the packager should matter, since it seems you're installing from 
source...

are you trying to do something like install to your home dir (non root) or 
like that?

did you look for an rpm for haddock? 

If you're committed to RH, honestly I would just take whatever comes 
nicely packaged as rpm. Life is too short (and haskell has enough other 
complications) to be installing stuff from source :)

> are you certain haddock depends on lambdabot? that seems very strange
to me. 

Thomas,
I also thought haddock should be an easy build, but it just won't do it.
  /home2/<user>/garden/haddock-0.8> runhaskell ./Setup.lhs install
  Installing: --prefix=~/cabal/lib/haddock-0.8/ghc-6.4 &
--prefix=~/cabal/bin haddock-0.8...
Then it stopped and nothing got done. (I even checked rc=0 but the
lib/bin dir does not have trace of haddock!)

I don't think haddock "has" to depend on lamdbabot. But I saw "Skipping
HaddockHoogle" during the build. Isn't the Hoogle thing related to
Lambdabot? Or they are unrelated.

Again being new to the Haskell world (only a few months), I am not an
expert on what depends on what. It would be nice to have a "type system"
to check the dependency of the many packages. Perl CPAN does a good job
on this.

Hi,
I have been hacking the Haskell installation a few days on Redhat Linux.
 GHC 6.6 -> 6.6.1 -> Lambdabot does not work.
 Downgrade to GHC 6.4 -> Still not working, tried cabal-install to
simplify my life, but no luck.
 Then install Cabal, Haddock -> Haddock cannot install bc Lambdabot is
not there. (And some dependency issues.)
 Remove .ghci, Haddock still not work.

It seems the Haskell world (outside the beautiful GHC) is in a recursive
non-functional blackhole.

Anyway, now my question is, how do I thoroughly clean up Haskell? (And
maybe try again after a few days of rest.)

My environment is Redhat Linux, install most stuff on
/home/<user>/<product>/ where <product> = GHC, Lambdabot, cabal,
haddock, etc. It seems there are some hidden files/dirs, .GHC, .ghci,
anything else?

Thanks,
Steve
