[SOLVED] AUR package not building for haskell-platform

Unforunately I have a problem in which a package seems to not build for `haskell-json` on the AUR. The build terminates like so:

Configuring json-0.7...
Building json-0.7...
Preprocessing library json-0.7...
[1 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Types  ( Text/JSON/Types.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Types.o )
[2 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.String ( Text/JSON/String.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/String.o )
[3 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.ReadP  ( Text/JSON/ReadP.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/ReadP.o )
[4 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Parsec ( Text/JSON/Parsec.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Parsec.o )
[5 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Pretty ( Text/JSON/Pretty.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Pretty.o )
[6 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON        ( Text/JSON.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON.o )
[7 of 7] Compiling Text.JSON.Generic ( Text/JSON/Generic.hs, dist/build/Text/JSON/Generic.o )

Text/JSON.hs:73:18:
    Could not find module `Data.Text'
    Perhaps you haven't installed the "dyn" libraries for package `text-0.11.3.1'?
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

However, I can actually confirm that this *does* build when I do it with cabal itself. For some reason issuing an indirect build via arch build system causes failure. Here is the output from `ghc-pkg list text`:

/usr/lib/ghc-7.6.3/package.conf.d
   text-0.11.3.1

Any ideas as to what is going wrong would be much appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] AUR package not building for haskell-platform

Have you tried installing from the haskell unofficial repo? haskell-core has haskell-json 0.7-9.

Hi Karol, thanks for responding. No I haven't tried the unofficial repo; I'll look into it and post my results.

Unfortunately, once I try to get `haskell-json` up and running it fails to complete because:

xmonad: requires haskell-mtl=2.1.2-3

Version incompatibility \=

There's haskell-xmonad in the haskell-core repo. It's version 0.11-7, just like xmonad from the community.

Ooops, I just found that out right now with pacman -Syu, trying again, will report back when I can [=

You're an absolute godsend Karol, thanks for the suggestion. Haskell management for arch is much cleaner this way too.

You should thank people who maintain the repos :-)

Aye to that: Thank you ArchHaskell team for making life easier for haskellers/users of Arch.
