[Haskell-cafe] Installing Curl on Windows 7 - permissions problem

Mon May 31 17:50:58 EDT 2010

Don,

More angst with Windows 7 permissions.  I hope this is a simple thing for
you or someone else to help me with.

I have successfully installed other packages into my private cabal area.   

When it came to the Haskell curl package, I got permission errors.

Just to prove that things go to the right places, here is a successful run
with the Parseargs Package.

C:\Users\Ralph>cabal install parseargs

Parseargs installed fine and the package list shows it in my cabal
directory.

Now for curl. 

I installed Mingw32 (following the advice at
http://old.nabble.com/cURL-under-Windows-again-td21789068.html#a21789068)

This is what happened when I went to my windows shell:

C:\Users\Ralph\AppData\Roaming\cabal\curl-1.3.5>runhaskell setup build

Preprocessing library curl-1.3.5...

Building curl-1.3.5...

Registering curl-1.3.5...

C:\Users\Ralph\AppData\Roaming\cabal\curl-1.3.5>runhaskell setup install

setup: permission denied

I am wondering if the curl package is trying to put things in system
folders?

Help much appreciated - tight deadlines

Ralph

Yes, see:

    Network.Curl.Download.Lazy.openLazyURI

though I think it is possible that I strictified the code. Have a play

around with it if it doesn't meet your needs -- should be /trivial/ to

ensure it is chunk-wise lazy.
