I've just installed cabal to try and get http://dmwit.com/yeganesh/, but on running cabal-install it throws the error:cabal: ghc version >=6.4 is required but it could not be found.Apt-cache searching ghc returns literally hundreds of packages, which one do I need?
What ghc package does cabal-install need?
ubuntu;debian;software installation;haskell
You need the one called exactly ghc. Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ghc Debian: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ghcYou can add the --names-only option to apt-cache search to limit your results; it prevents it from returning a positive result for packages that only mention ghc in the description. If that fails, I go to the package search page on the distro website where I can search for filenames instead of package names.
