I need to expose a package ghc-7.10.2.20150906.
When I use "ghc-pkg list", I see this:
But when I'm trying to expose ghc-7.10.2.20150906 by sudo ghc-pkg expose ghc-7.10.2.20150906
, I get a message:
ghc-pkg: cannot find package ghc-7.10.2.20150906
What's the problem? Or is there another way to expose it?
Cabal file:

-- The available configuration options are listed below.
-- Some of them have default values listed.
-- Lines (like this one) beginning with '--' are comments.
-- Be careful with spaces and indentation because they are

Usually when you're writing a larger Haskell project you would specify the packages that you want to use in a project specific Cabal file, here is a quite minimal example that uses the base
package and the ghc
package, example.cabal
:
name: example
version: 0.1.0.0
build-type: Simple
cabal-version: >=1.10
library
exposed-modules: AModule
build-depends: base >= 4.7 && < 5
, ghc
default-language: Haskell2010
To use the GHC 7.10.3 snapshot with this project you run cabal configure --with-compiler=PATH/TO/ghc-7.10.3
, then you can access your project with the dependent packages in a GHCi session using cabal repl
.
If you really want to expose the ghc
package your problem seems to be that the sudo ghc-pkg
invocation is not the ghc-pkg from the 7.10.3 snapshot, as evidenced by the line
flag db stack: ["/home/valoisa/.ghc/x86_64-linux-7.10.2/package.conf.d","/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d"]
in the output of sudo ghc-pkg -v2 expose ghc
you posted.
I can see two possible solutions
sudo
as it seems the correct version of ghc-pkg
is used (I can't think of any reason to use sudo here).ghc-pkg
by specifying the whole path to the program.Upvotes: 2
