[OmniOS-discuss] cannot remove temp dir

[Matthieu Paindavoine]

The behavior with /usr/bin/rm is the same (the error message is different:
rm: Unable to remove directory cabal-install-1.16.0.2-21814: Directory not empty)


I am trying to install a Haskell environment. I initially set my goal, like you mentioned, on the haskell-platform. But it depends on OpenGL, and I can't find it available. So I decided to just install ghc-7.4.2 and cabal.

I used the ghc-7.0.3 binary distribution available on www.haskell.org to bootstrap the ghc-7.4.2 source distribution, and it compiled successfully.
I then installed cabal with the bootstrap.sh (--global) script found in the cabal-install source, and it installed fine too, and suggested I upgrade to the latest version available with 'cabal install --global cabal-install', that's when it started turning sour (the build log I included in my previous mail).

Thanks for your help.

Matthieu

Out of curiosity, does it behave any differently if you use the native illumos rm rather than the gnu variant?

If I get a minute, I'll try to reproduce this. What exactly are you doing? Install ghc (ghc-7.6.3-src.tar.bz2), and then the platform (haskell-platform-2012.4.0.0.tar.gz)? I didn't see a standalone package just for cabal after a quick look.
