Easy pandoc [SOLVED]

Hi,

pandoc, as well as haskell-pandoc from AUR won't build. This hasn't always been the case, but the last successful build dates back more than a month. Nobody's been commenting on this; am I the dumbest one on the block?

...your gonna get more help if you email the maintainer rather than post to DE.

Re: Easy pandoc [SOLVED]

Easiest way around this is to add the ArchHaskell binary repo; i.e., put this:

[haskell]
Server = http://andromeda.kiwilight.com/$repo/$arch

at the end of your /etc/pacman.conf, then pacman -Syy, then pacman -S haskell-pandoc.

Re: Easy pandoc [SOLVED]

Try using Cabal, the "Common Architecture for Building Applications and Libraries" in Haskell:

pacman -Sy cabal-install
cabal update
cabal install pandoc

The author suggests this when there's no working package for your disto: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html

PS: And wow! I haven't been here for a while and just saw I registered in 2005. Makes me an old-timer I guess

Thank you very much, frabjous!
