Yi fails on Alex because Cabal doesn't track executables, nor executables needed for installation. You want 'cabal install alex yi'; I believe the FAQ covers this. As for cabal install yi-gtk, unless things have changed since I last looked, the answer is Don't Do That. yi-gtk and yi-vty are solely for yi 0.3 and below - it's obsolete, in other words. Yi depends directly on vty (which cabal install will handle) and GTK2HS, which unfortunately is not on Hackage and so you or your distro has to handle that. -- gwern beef Croatian Waco, Mace H
