One more thing, I also had to add my cygwin bin directory containing "sh.exe" to my Windows %PATH% variable. This allowed network to configure from the windows command prompt.<br><br clear="all">/jve<br>

<div>Hello All,</div><div><br></div>I'm trying to reinstall network-2.2.0.0 against Parsec 3 in Windows. Well, this is really hard/impossible to do. Here's what I've done so far:<div><br></div><div>1) After bashing my face against my desk for a while, I got cabal-install installed in windows.</div>
<div>2) cabal install network --reinstall</div><div>3) This freaks out because I don't have hsc2hs installed, but it doesn't tell me that, it just complains about something having to do with sizeof.</div><div>4) I figure out that I need hsc2hs installed, and i put cabal-install to use fetching it for me.</div>
<div>5) cabal-install fails because hsc2hs needs the process and directory packages, but they aren't exposed by the cabal file (at least in the version sitting on hackage, I assume this is the right one to use).</div>
<div>6) I give up on using cabal-install to get hsc2hs, so i download the targz for hsc2hs directly.</div><div>7) I fix the .cabal file to include process and directory</div><div>8) runhaskell Setup configure:</div><div>
<div>

<div>10) runhaskell Setup install:</div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Everything works fine.</span></div><div>11) Go back to try and install network-2.2.0.0 again with cabal-install.</div>
<div>12) Gets past the sizeof/hsc2hs errors, but then chokes on spaces in build path names:</div><div><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Preprocessing library network-2.2.0.0...</span></div><div>

<div>13) And this is where I finally gave up and came here.</div><div><br></div><div>Does any one have any insight into:</div><div>1) Why cabal doesn't check for hsc2hs during a configure</div><div>2) How I can rebuild network-2.2.0.0 on my Windows box without sacrificing a goat to Bill Gates/GHC Gods?</div>
