updating pandoc. Some progress

updating pandoc. Some progress

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I downloaded the binaries found
in
https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_6_3#x86linux
./configure --prefix=/home/oub/h2
   220  11:12   make install

Then

/home/oub/.cabal/bin/cabal --with-compiler=/home/oub/h2/bin/ghc
--with-ghc-pkg=/home/oub/h2/bin/ghc-pkg install cabal-install

And obtained
,----
| 
| cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
| Cabal-1.22.8.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
| ExitFailure 1
| HTTP-4000.3.3 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.

`----


And then

/home/oub/.cabal/bin/cabal --with-compiler=/home/oub/h2/bin/ghc
--with-ghc-pkg=/home/oub/h2/bin/ghc-pkg install pandoc

Which of course also failed.

Any ideas?

Is there a reason you used ghc 7.6.3 and not the most recent
version 7.10.3 (which provides several binary packages for
linux)?  I'd suggest using the latest, though pandoc cabal
builds are regularly tested on travis with versions back to 7.4.2.

You might also look at
https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc
which provides ubuntu packages for various ghc and
cabal-install versions.

If you go back in the log to the part that is installing
mtl, you may be able to see what went wrong.  Sometimes
ExitFailure 1 indicates that the build failed through
resource exhaustion, which can happen on low-memory systems.

well the older one, had one generic binary packages, the more recent ones 
(7.6.3) had binaries for several distributions
but mine Ubuntu 10.04 was not among them. 

I will try anyhow and report back

Any particular reason you can't or won't upgrade Ubuntu, then?
I can't upgrade Ubuntu on my ancient 32-bit laptop. Are you in a 
similar predicament?

Well it is a Thinkpad X200 or a X61, I presume I could install 32bit 
Kubuntu 14.04, but right now
my workload is so high that I cannot effort to spend time in upgrading the 
system, because usually there are always 
problems which take some days to iron them out

7.10.3: I dowloaded ghc-7.10.3-i386-centos67-linux.tar.bz2 
<http://downloads.haskell.org/%7Eghc/7.10.3/ghc-7.10.3-i386-centos67-linux.tar.bz2>
since it only requires libgmp.so.3 which I have.

However the installation failed with 



/home/oub/h-7.10/lib/ghc-7.10.3/bin/ghc-pkg: error while loading shared 
libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 127
make: *** [install] Error 2


I repeated the installation of 7.6.3
and again mtl was the problem

Cabal-1.22.8.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
HTTP-4000.3.3 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.
cabal-install-1.22.9.0 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.
mtl-2.2.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

I basically closed all applications in order not to run into a memory 
problem I have 4 G RAM and 250 were occupied by the system. 

I will try out now ghc-7.5 and below

So far I have tried out
ghc-7.6.1
ghc-7.6.3
ghc-7.4.2
ghc-7.10.3

I could not install ghc-7.10.3 as I wrote in an earlier message, the other 
ghc version I could.
However 
/home/oub/.cabal/bin/cabal --with-compiler=/home/oub/h-7.6/bin/ghc 
--with-ghc-pkg=/home/oub/h-7.6/bin/ghc-pkg --disable-library-profiling 
install cabal-install
(using all the different ghc versions)

failed always with the message
Cabal-1.22.8.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
HTTP-4000.3.3 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.
cabal-install-1.22.9.0 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.

so it seems the evil mtl package caused the installation problem.

anybody has an idea?

thanks

Re: updating pandoc. Some progress

[Daniel Bergey]

Try adding this flag to your cabal install line:

--constraint='transformers installed'

I think that will give cabal enough guidance to pick an older version of
mtl, which plays better with GHC-7.6.

thanks

I tried

/home/oub/.cabal/bin/cabal --with-compiler=/home/oub/h-7.6.1/bin/ghc --with-ghc-pkg=/home/oub/h-7.6.1/bin/ghc-pkg --disable-library-profiling  --constraint='transformers installed' install cabal-install

And I obtain
