GF installation on Ubuntu 11.10

[Faegheh Hasibi]

I've tried to install GF from both darcs and cabal on Ubuntu 11.10 and I get this error.

Error: some packages failed to install:
gf-3.3 depends on terminfo-0.3.2.2 which failed to install.
haskeline-0.6.4.5 depends on terminfo-0.3.2.2 which failed to install.
terminfo-0.3.2.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

I tried to install terminfo and I get the following:

E: Unable to locate package terminfo

here is the output of ghc-pkg command:

Hi

did you try
sudo apt-get install libghc-terminfo-dev ?

Thank you for your guidance,
I tried the command, but I still get this error:

Configuring gf-3.3...
setup: The program happy is required but it could not be found.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
gf-3.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

 
I used "cabal install happy" command to install happy and it seems that installation done successfully by showing me these lines at the end:

Linking dist/build/happy/happy ...
Installing executable(s) in /root/.cabal/bin

Many thanks in advance  for any hints.

Hi,

I am guessing you haven't seen the instructions on the GF download page (which
means we probably should put links to them in more places...)

http://www.grammaticalframework.org/download/index.html

Try the instructions for installing from source described there and let us know
if you still have problems.

Hi,

I am also getting some issue while installing GF 3.3 in ubuntu 11.10 but it seems issue related to cabal version

here is the error message i got on cabal install

Resolving dependencies...

<command line>: cannot satisfy -package Cabal-1.8.0.6

    (use -v for more information)

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

gf-3.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:

cabal --version shows 

cabal-install version 0.10.2

using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library 

Do i explicitly need cabal version 1.8 to install gf 3.3, or i am missing something ?

BR

Hi,

In my tests, GF 3.3 compiles without problems on a clean install of Ubuntu
11.10. I am not sure where this reference to Cabal-1.8.0.6 is coming from, but
it can probably be solved by cleaning out old stuff. Try 'cabal clean' in the GF
directory, or ghc-pkg list + ghc-pkg unregister to find and remove old versions
of haskell libraries (the Cabal library in particular).

Another question: Does gf specifically depend on containers-0.4.2.1 or does the version not matter? The newest version is 0.5.5.1, which seems to not match the dependency:

<command line>: cannot satisfy -package Cabal-1.14.0: 

    Cabal-1.14.0-5875475606fe70ef919bbc055077d744 is unusable due to missing or recursive dependencies:

      containers-0.4.2.1-cfc6420ecc2194c9ed977b06bdfd9e69

Or am I stuck in cabal dependency hell? ;) 

Best regards, 

Christina

It is complaining about Cabal, which suggests that starting with 'rm -r dist' might help...

Indeed, I had to unregister an old cabal version... Thanks! (And sorry.)
