installing libghc-opengl

tmoore1984 · 2016-03-30 04:44:31

I'd like to follow a tutorial of using openGL with GHC Haskell, but I am running into dependency issues. I know some things about Linux and Debian, but I don't want to #$#% up my computer so I decided I would just ask. I hope that I just need a quick lesson in installing old versions of stuff without dragging in too many outdated dependencies. Here we go.

So Cabal acts as a library manager for Haskell. I don't know how it interacts with APT but I think that there's some redundancy.

$ cabal install opengl
Resolving dependencies...
Downloading OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1...
Configuring OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1...
cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: GL
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
Failed to install OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
GLURaw-1.5.0.3 depends on OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1 which failed to install.
OpenGL-2.13.2.1 depends on OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1 which failed to install.
OpenGLRaw-2.6.1.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

So I saw this nifty-looking package in apt-cache, but it wouldn't happen either.

$ sudo apt-get install libghc-opengl-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libghc-opengl-dev : Depends: libghc-gluraw-dev-1.3.0.0-9f9cf

So I tried installing one of the listed dependencies, just to see what the error would say.

I wanted to add, that I had some similar issues trying to install Theano yesterday. I am hoping that I learn some general stuff here that will help me to fix those as well.

I should have said, I did an APT and Cabal update beforehand.
