Installing gtk2hs on ubuntu

362 views Asked by At

I am trying to install gtk for Haskell on Ubuntu. I have already installed the Haskell platform. When I run cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools, I get the following error:

Resolving dependencies...

Configuring Cabal-2.2.0.1...

Failed to install Cabal-2.2.0.1

Build log ( /home/vishad/.cabal/logs/Cabal-2.2.0.1.log ):

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

Cabal-2.2.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:

user error ('/usr/bin/ghc' exited with an error:

/tmp/cabal-tmp-11425/Cabal-2.2.0.1/Distribution/Utils/IOData.hs:36:0:

error: missing binary operator before token "("

#if MIN_VERSION_bytestring(0,10,0)

^

)

gtk2hs-buildtools-0.13.4.0 depends on Cabal-2.2.0.1 which failed to install.

I have already installed the dependencies using the following command :

   sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev
