Re: [Haskell-cafe] Problem with cabal install zlib

Thanks for the feedback. I guess the following part is the problematic part: (But I've no idea how to resolve it) Creating dist/build (and its parents) Creating dist/build/autogen (and its parents) Preprocessing library zlib-0.5.2.0... Creating dist/build/Codec/Compression/Zlib (and its parents)

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Problem with cabal install zlib

I actually ran into this problem last night. Here's my workaround (note that it involves downgrading to zlib-0.5.0.0 1) unregister the zlib-0.5.2.0 package (prompt> ghc-pkg unregister zlib-0.5.2.0) 2) rebuild and install cabal-install: prompt> tar -zxvf ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell

[Haskell-cafe] How to use Control.Failure?

I have looked at the recently released Control.Failure library but I admit, I couldn't understand it completely. So given the example below, how would Control.Failure help me here? Thanks, nt -- Theirs (other library code stubs) data TheirError = TheirErrorCase deriving Show data TheirData = Th

[Haskell-cafe] Search a directory for files

Hi, I'm trying to make a program to make it easy to rename files in bulk. What I'm wondering is how to get a list of all files in a particular directory. I found System.Posix.Files and I'm planning on using the rename function in it for actually renaming, but I can't find an easy way to get al

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Search a directory for files

Look in System.Directory; specifically, getDirectoryContents should do what you want. You might also check out the FileManip package, which provides some convenient functionality for finding all files which match a particular pattern. Cheers, Greg On Dec 19, 2009, at 6:40 PM, Eitan Goldshtrom
