Something actionable?!

  • searched and found: gtk2hs/svgcairo#14

    Savelenko commented Dec 9, 2021

    I was attempting to build ghc-vis with stack (in Manjaro Linux) and encountered the same problem. I simply made a symlink to rsvg-features.h named librsvg-features.h and this solved the problem.

To find where header files are located:

cabal: Failed to build svgcairo-0.13.2.1 (which is required by ghc-vis-0.9.3).
See the build log above for details.

Built / Installed svgcairo locally but SEMI-NO GO!

  • Downloaded svgcairo-0.13.2.1
  • Edited svgcairo.cabal
  • built via: $ cabal install --lib

But how to use this version when building ghc-vis?!

$ cd ~/cs/haskell/ghc-vis/ghc-vis-0.9.3
$ cabal install --env . --lib ghc-vis --allow-newer=base svgcairo:Cabal
cabal: Internal error in target matching. It should always be possible to find
a syntax that's sufficiently qualified to give an unambiguous match. However
when matching 'svgcairo:Cabal' we found svgcairo:Cabal (unknown-component)
which does not have an unambiguous syntax. The possible syntax and the targets
they match are as follows:
'svgcairo:Cabal' which matches svgcairo:Cabal (unknown-component),
:pkg:svgcairo:lib:svgcairo:module:Cabal (unknown-module),
:pkg:svgcairo:lib:svgcairo:file:Cabal (unknown-file)

$ cabal install --env . --lib ghc-vis --allow-newer
