installing gtk2hs

When I try to install gtk2hs through pacman I get the following

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts                   [#####################] 100%
(1/1) upgrading gtk2hs                              [#####################] 100%
ghc-pkg: cannot find package glib

ghc-pkg: cannot find package glade
ghc-pkg: cannot find package gconf
ghc-pkg: cannot find package sourceview
ghc-pkg: cannot find package svgcairo
ghc-pkg: cannot find package gtkglext

I don't know what is going on, I installed glib and gtk and sourceview I know.

Re: installing gtk2hs

Its likely the mirror is out of sync so try another one.  There is a posted thread on the forum somewhere that gives info on whether a mirror is currently down or not.  Or use Xynes "reflector" script and/or powerpill which will go through mirrors recursively in your mirrolist script to find one that has the apps you want to download.

I'm torn apart between worlds. Basically, using vim in a highly visual environment with a lot of mouse features feels like soldering a lose wire to a motherboard with a Zippo and a needle, while working with ANY TEXT AT ALL with a "modern GUI" text editor feels like joining the London Philharmonic Orchestra with a Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Magical Musical Mirror.  --Awebb

Re: installing gtk2hs

It might be better to build from source, since the arch-haskell binary package have not been updated in a while.

Those missing packages are ghc libraries that should have been registered as part of the install of gtk2hs. Look for any .sh scripts that come with the package (pacman -Ql gtk2hs), and try to run those manually, maybe with the option --force.
