A sample App.hs is included with Turbinado, but you need to create your own. That could be as simple as copying Config/App.hs.sample -> Config/App.hs.

You might try starting with the turbinado-website (though then you’ll need to disable the databaseConnection in Config/App.hs).

I switched now to my ubuntu server 8.10 machine and tried to install turbinado there, but I get an error after the dependencies are installed.

So this is what I did actually on my freshly installed ubuntu box:

sudo su apt-get update apt-get upgrade

apt-get install libedit-dev darcs git-core libgmp3-dev zlib1g-dev postgresql postgresql-server-dev-8.3 happy make

cd /usr/local/src wget http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.1/ghc-6.10.1-i386-unknown-linux-libedit2.tar.bz2 tar xjvf ghc-6.10.1-i386-unknown-linux-libedit2.tar.bz2 cd ghc-6.10.1 ./configure make install

cd /usr/local/src darcs get –partial http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/ cd cabal-install sh bootstrap.sh

vim /etc/environment –> Add the local bin path (reload the path) –> /root/.cabal/bin/

reboot (because of a kernel upgrade + path refreshment)

cabal update

cd /usr/local/src git clone git://github.com/alsonkemp/turbinado.git cd turbinado cabal install

And I get the following error:

Configuring turbinado-0.4.9… Preprocessing executables for turbinado-0.4.9… Building turbinado-0.4.9…

Config/Master.hs:128:7: Could not find module `Config.App’: Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: turbinado-0.4.9 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1

Doh. That doesn’t look too pretty. You might contact John Goerzen and file a bug. See here: http://software.complete.org/software/projects/show/hdbc

did someone of you succeed in installing turbinado on leopard? Or does it really work only on linux?

Only fetched turbinado from git repository, then for some packages it was necessarry to give exact version to cabal install so it would pick the package at all (cabal install happy 1.18.2).

hs-plugins required few tweaks: config.h file – double the \’s in GHC_LIB_PATH, otherwisely error is reported in System.Plugins.Consts.hs;

then two imports in System.Plugins.Env.hs — System.Environment (getEnv) & System.Plugins.Consts (ghcLibraryPath).

Then just cabal install in the turbinado dir & evoila

Yeah, I tried to help out with cabal-install and the directories thing a couple of years ago, but couldn’t figure out a good solution. I probably did more harm than good. I’ll drop a note in the ticket.

Erik,

Thanks for the info. That might be a nice solution: if bindir isn’t configured, cabal will ask you for the bindir location, then will save it to .cabal/config… Standard locations could be suggested based on *nix or Windows.

I’d really appreciate some more discussion on what to do here. The ticket is: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/289
