Making Yesod work on Ubuntu 13.04

yesod-ubuntu13.04.md

For a project named XXX with a postgreSQL database:

0. $ sudo apt-get install libedit-dev libbsd-dev libgmp3-dev zlib1g-dev freeglut3-dev postgresql pgadmin3 libghc-persistent-postgresql-dev cabal-install
1. Install all packages for 'yesod'.
2. $ cabal update
3. $ cd XXX && cabal install && yesod devel

Can't find persistent-postgresql and tried on both Ubuntu 12.?? LTS and Ubuntu 13.04.

On both machines I did this:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"

to enable all repositories and also tried replacing persistent-postgresql with haskell-persistent-postgresql where the ladder is even listed as Ubuntu package.

Any idea?

Interesting... Well we're not at the deployment stage (and if FPComplete opens their IDE soon it could be done with a few clicks), but I'll look at it this week.

Replacing persistent-postgresql with libghc-persistent-postgresql-dev works for me on 13.04

Oups! My mistake. Gist updated...
