[Haskell-cafe] unix-compat and GHC 7.0.2

[Pieter Laeremans]

I've got the same problem.

I don't have acces to the computer where I've go the  problem (my home mac).
But if I remember correctly

cabal install unix-compat -V3  yielded more output, the problem
was due to lbutil.h, that was not present. I've experienced the same problem
on an EC2, with  a redhat fedora, by amazon.

On ubuntu I got it working by installing libbsd-dev or something like that.

kind regards,

Pieter

PS : funny thing is, I've stumbled upon the problem when trying to install
yesod ;-).
