Questions[haskell](ubuntu)

I want to run this program hosted on Cabal, the official repository of Haskell apps.

First I installed Cabal:

sudo apt-get install cabal-install
cabal update

Second I installed the program itself:

$ cabal install clanki

Installed clanki-1.2.6

Third I tried to run the program:

$ clanki --list
clanki: command not found

Why is the program not found, despite using the recommended installation procedure?

Is it right that 14.04 does not have the haskell platform avaible by the software center.

Do I need to compile it by source or is there anothe way to make this work ?

First: Yes, I really do mean to install install just GHC, and not the Haskell Platform. I am installing in a VM made just for this purpose, I have the platform installed elsewhere.

So the standard instructions for installing from a distro mentions ghc6 which is not recognized as a valid target (anymore?). So if I install the ghc package instead, I (successfully) get 7.6.3.

I did make sure that I have universe enabled, and have the latest package list. Is it that 7.8.2 is not packaged yet?

I have problems with installing haskell (hugs) on Ubuntu 10.10. I had the latest version before and I wrote just sudo apt-get install hugs and everything worked. But now with Ubuntu 10.10 It tells me that package hugs could not be found.

How can I install hugs then?

I've been waiting for a couple years to be able to do an

apt-get install haskell-platform

on Ubuntu. Will a haskell platform-package be available on Ubuntu 10.10?
