Hi all,

I'm trying to install the easyVision library on OS X, following the
notes at [url]http://mit.edu/harold/Public/easyVisionNotes.html[/url].

However, despite a few hours web trawling and hacking away with
various cabal options, I can't get "hmatrix" to install. I'm using OS
X 10.5.8 with GHC 6.10.4. I installed gsl using macports, as
suggested in the notes above, but cabal doesn't seem to be able to
find it. The error I'm getting is:

[13:22:35 dmorti hmatrix-0.8.2.0]$ cabal install hmatrix

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
hmatrix-0.8.2.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:

It appears that others have also had this error, but have been able to
fix it up by including "--extra-lib-dirs" and "--extra-include-dirs"
options, or using "ld-options: -framework vecLib". I've tried both of
these approaches, but still get the same errors.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks very much for your help,
Duncan Mortimer

I'm having a similar error when trying to install HMatrix on OS X as
well. Interested if anyone can find a solution.

hmatrix uses a custom configure script which I think is supposed to
make live easier for Linux users. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on
MacOS X; you have to deactivate it. If I remember correctly, you can do
this with changing the build type to

build-type: Simple

in the cabal file. Then, add the relevant libraries

extra-lib-dirs: /opt/local/lib/
extra-include-dirs: /opt/local/include/
extra-libraries: gsl
framework: Accelerate
-- or framework: vecLib for earlier versions of MacOS X

and off you go.

Hi All,

Following Heinrich's advice (thanks), I found the following worked:

in hmatrix.cabal:

change "build-type: Custom" to "build-type: Simple"

and at the end of hmatrix.cabal:

change "extra-libraries:" to "extra-libraries: gsl"
and
"extra-lib-dirs: " to "extra-lib-dirs: /opt/local/lib/"

Then at the command line run:

cabal --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include configure

followed by

cabal --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include install

I couldn't work out how to put the extra-include-dirs details into the
hmatrix.cabal file --- I kept getting the error "Warning:
hmatrix.cabal: Unknown fields: extra-include-dirs".

Anyway --- the above appears to have worked for me. I thought I'd
send it back to the list in the hopes that it helps someone else. And
if anyone can explain where "extra-include-dirs" should go in the
hmatrix.cabal file, please let me know!

best,
Duncan

Ooops. Cancel that --- I didn't get any errors on running "cabal
install", and "hmatrix-0.8.2.0" is listed in my ghc-pkg list.
However, on attempting to run the tests listed on:

[url]http://sites.google.com/site/wwwhmatrix/installation[/url]

i.e.: (in ghci):

> import Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Tests
> runTests 20

I get the error:

...
...
Loading package hmatrix-0.8.2.0 ... linking ... <interactive>:
unknown symbol `_zgemm_'
ghc: unable to load package `hmatrix-0.8.2.0'

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what's going on now?

Thanks,
Duncan

Looks like you're missing a function from LAPACK. Did you add

frameworks: Accelerate

too?

My bad, the relevant field in the cabal file is called

include-dirs: /opt/local/include
