Summary: quickcheck doesn't work
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 16
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: ghc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

    Classification: Fedora
      Story Points: ---
              Type: ---

Description of problem:
I'm no haskell expert, but i'm sure your package for quickcheck doesn't work

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
GHC 7.0.4, fedora 16 default version.

How reproducible:
just install ghc-quicheck through yumex or yum or whatever

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install ghc-quickcheck
2.realiaze that it doesn't work no module Test.QuickCheck
3.

Actual results:
no Test.QuickCheck module , what's wrong?
you messed up big time with dependencies?

Expected results:
there should have been a module Test.QuickCheck after installing ghc-quickcheck
,should have worked like the vanilla package.

Additional info:
seriously, this makes me furious!! (i'm trying to learn haskell :()
No way, i can tell you what's wrong , i'm no haskell expert.

when i asked help in #haskell , there folks whined about, fedora splitting
software.

Try:

yum install ghc-QuickCheck-devel

The -devel packages contain what is needed to develop with. The base package is
only what is needed if a program uses QuickCheck (and has already been
compiled).

What Ben said.

You probably want to install haskell-platform:

sudo yum install haskell-platform

Just a little more explanation: ghc-QuickCheck contains the shared
library and ghc-QuickCheck-devel contains the development files.
This is consist with other libraries in Fedora and other distros...

Also if you only want the libraries included from ghc
you can "yum install ghc-devel".

Also use "yum list ghc-*-devel" to list all Haskell development
packages in Fedora.  Personally I tend to "yum install ghc-*-devel"
or "yum install @haskell" which installs nearly all of them
and various tools too.

Okay I am going to ponder on this a little more.

Maybe we really want the ghc base package to be a meta package
that pulls in "everything" to make the initial install friendlier
for newcomers.

ie More or less swap around current ghc and ghc-devel.

ok Jens, thanks for your speedy reply , but i find it hard to grok why fedora
packages force user to do it differently ? just to give an example,same problem
happened with cgns library which is still not resolved completely (cgns-devel
libraries have to be explicitly linked , unlike given in standard
documentation).

I appreciate the motivation of splitting static and shared version of library,
but packages like ghc-quickcheck one would install to write programs.(static).

Thanks again for the report.

Ok, ghc-7.0.4-36.fc17 should provide a base metapackage
which installs all of ghc (ghc-compiler and ghc-devel).
So in future if you install ghc you will have a working
QuickCheck, etc out of the box.

I am planning to backport this soon to F16 and F15.

Hm, that sounds like another bug?  Have you reported it?

Maybe, but I still think it cleaner to treat all the libraries equally.
Anyway I hope the newest packaging will work better for you. :)

Unfortunately F17 rawhide is now on a newer version gmp so
the f17 build can't be installed easily in f16.  Anyway I will
try to push an update soon for F16 before it is released.

I did report a bug,but they just added the runtime dependency which was not
there previously. I tried to explain that in official(upstream) documentation
linking part is clearly explained and explicitly stated that it doesn't conform
to that, may be i was too subtle(my first bug report), i didn't use poisonous
words.that maintainer didn't get it! (or maybe he has little or no experience
working with that package , i would grab that package from him as become a
package maintainer for fedora.)

I apologize Jens for my inappropriate language (And poisonous words to gather
attention) , but i like fedora as development platform i'm concerned with
unexpected problems any newbie developer has to face.

good to hear that, i'm not too concerned myself as workaround is known.

It is ok for me. :)  I am glad you raised this and think it will lead
to be a better Fedora ghc package. :-)
The Fedora ghc subpackaging is perhaps a bit extreme - I don't
think anyone does it (yet anyway) but it means we can build
packages faster in the buildsystem and at least gives one
the option to install only what one needs.

Sometimes one needs to make some extra noise to bring awareness
to problems and deficiencies - of course it can also backfire sometimes. :)

Let us know if you have any more feedback about Fedora Haskell
or other packaging.  Fedora also needs to continue improving. :)

i haven't tried installing any other package which makes use of rpm-macros,as i
already installed development packages, but anyway gave positive karma , for
you handled this bug quite well. (atleast in my experience).

so far so good Jens.
