Truly, twidge is very simple to install into debian (or derived) linux distribution, I found some problems on centos server but I solved them in a previous article.

Now it's time to install twidge on Mac OS X 10.6.8


To install Twidge on Mac OS X Snow Leopard the following steps shall be performed:

Install the Glasgow Haskell Compiler

 

Note: this step could take a long time, so be patient!

$  sudo port install ghc

 

..........

--->  Computing dependencies for ghc

--->  Building ghc

--->  Staging ghc into destroot

--->  Installing ghc @6.10.4_4

--->  Activating ghc @6.10.4_4

--->  Cleaning ghc

 


Install Cabal

$  sudo port install hs-cabal

 

..........

--->  Verifying checksum(s) for hs-cabal

 

--->  Extracting hs-cabal

--->  Configuring hs-cabal

--->  Building hs-cabal

--->  Staging hs-cabal into destroot

--->  Installing hs-cabal @0.8.0_0

--->  Activating hs-cabal @0.8.0_0

--->  Cleaning hs-cabal


Update Cabal packages

$ cd /opt/local/var/macports/software/hs-cabal/0.8.0_0/opt/local/bin/

$ ./cabal-0.8.0 update

 

Config file path source is default config file.

Config file /Users/luigidandrea/.cabal/config not found.

Writing default configuration to /Users/luigidandrea/.cabal/config

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org

Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.

To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

 

 

 

Install Twidge using Cabal

$ cd

$ cabal-0.8.0 install twidge

 

Now the twidge executables should be in your $(HOME)/.cabal/twidge

Simply type the following command to setup Twidge 

 

$  $(HOME)/.cabal/twidge setup

 

 

Other information about the setup of Twidge can be found here

 

That's all,
