Unable to install

[magic890]

Hi,

I've downloaded the gitit-0.10.7.zip, uncompressed it, and now I'm trying to run cabal install gitit.
I'm unable to install it because I get this error:

[root@MACHINE gitit-0.10.7]# cabal install gitit

cabal-1.16.0.2: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: cmark.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.

I'm running it on a CentOS 6, with GHC 7.6.3 and cabal-1.16.0.2.

How can I solve this issue?

[jgm]

Look at the error messages. One says:

cabal-1.16.0.2: The program gcc is required but it could not
be found.

So, first thing I'd do would be install gcc. Looks like you
also need some libraries (zlib for example). You shouldn't
need cmark -- the sources are included in the cmark haskell
package -- so I assume this message has something to do with
the missing gcc.

Thanks for pointing it out, my fault.
I also added the explicit dependency on the README and created a pull request.

Now I have installed it on CentOS 6, and I can't find gitit in the PATH.

I'm running it using /root/.cabal/bin/gitit and I'm getting this error:

Created repository in wikidata
Added Front Page.page to repository
Added Help.page to repository
gitit: git: recoverEncode: invalid argument (invalid character)`

My locale is:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

is this ok? According to the README it is UTF8.

[jgm]

It does sound like a locale-related problem. I'm not sure exactly what is wrong -- it should be UTF-8, and that looks right here -- but there are two error messages when you run locale, and that points to a problem somewhere (not in gitit itself):

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

[magic890]

locale UTF-8 doesn't seems to exist, try to run locale -a for all the available options, they are all prefixed with the country code.

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

The two mentioned warning are due to remote SSH client trying to send its LC settings.

For example, running Mac OS X, I have solved this commenting SendEnv LANG LC_* in /etc/ssh_config file.

Now my locale output is:

LANG=es_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_US.UTF-8"

LC_NAME="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Now I'm trying to run /root/.cabal/bin/gitit in an empty folder and I'm stuck here with this output:

Created repository in wikidata
Added Front Page.page to repository
Added Help.page to repository
Added Gitit User’s Guide.page to repository
Created static/css/custom.css
Created static/img/logo.png

Why it is not proceeding?

[jgm]

Locale looks fine. So, what is the problem? When you run gitit, it will create a basic wiki, then wait. It won't give you the command prompt again -- it's running a web server. Open a browser and look at http://localhost:5001

[magic890]

Ok, it's working. Thank you for your support!

Another way to set up the locale, just for the current ssh session: export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8.
