with cabal)
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=186
New issue report by kyagrd:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ghc 6.8.3 linux binary to Debian unstable (32bit)
2. Install yi with cabal (or install the dev version from darcs repo)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It just does not start. The error message is.
Custom yi ("/home/kyagrd/.yi/yi-i386-linux") could not be launched!
What version of Yi are you using? On what operating system?
Debian unstable.
Neither Yi 0.4.6 from cabal nor Yi 0.4.7 from darcs repo works.
If any was produced, please provide your .yi.dbg file
no such file produced. just gets stuck with the error message
and the bottom line of the editor says - *errors*
and I have to quit by pressing q.
Please provide any additional information below.
This is the posting to Haskell-Cafe mailing list.
I wanted to try out yi after seeing it demonstrated in the
Haskell symposium. So, I installed cabal as described here
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall
I am using Debian unstable with debian distributed GHC 6.8.2.x
but it seems that yi requries GHC 6.8.3 to compile. So, I manually
installed GHC 6.8.3 using the binary distribution from ghc homepage.
When I install yi with "cabal install yi" it succeeds and installs
yi version 0.4.6 However, when I run yi it starts but immediately
get stuck with the following error message:
Custom yi ("/home/kyagrd/.yi/yi-i386-linux") could not be launched!
The custom file yi-i386-linux does not exist and I don't have
any idea what that is.
Same thing happens with the development version 0.4.7 from
darcs repository.
I did this from complete scratch. I removed the .cabal and .ghc
directory and started from scratch in a clean state.
If anyone have succeeded using yi in Debian unstable
please let me know how you got around from this problem.
