[Haskell-cafe] Build problems with HDBC-mysql on the Mac

Dear cafe,

Following the instructions at 
http://matt.freels.name/2010/hdbc-mysql-os-x.html I successfully 
installed HDBC-mysql on my Mac!

However when doing a "cabal install" in a local package which depends on 
HDBC-mysql, cabal proceeds to reinstall HDBC-mysql (is this a bug? see 
my other email from a few moments ago), this time unsuccessfully because 
it is using the unpatched cached version downloaded from hackage. This 
breaks my installation: ghc-pkg list colors the package red.

Now comes the weird part. :-) I try to reinstall HDBC-mysql with my 
unpacked, patched version. It fixes my installation of HDBC-again, even 
though it exits prematurely with some errors! I've included the output 
at the end of this email.

I wonder:

Where do these errors suddenly come from? The first time the 
installation went without trouble.

How come it fixes my installation even though it reports errors?

Thank you in advance,

Martijn.



Output of "cabal install --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib:" in a local 
version of HDBC-mysql, patched according to
