Mac OS X installer fails on OpenGL

[grady@…]

During installation, I get the error: "The following install step failed: run postinstall script for OpenGL-2.2.1.1. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

% ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.10.3 % which ghc /opt/local/bin/ghc

Missing OpenGL headers on the Mac? More detail needed, including a transcript of the configure phase.

What is the post-install script doing? Registering the package? What else? What makes us think it's missing headers that's the problem?

Here is the relevant part from my install log:

Seems the error is on the 6th line from the bottom:

ghc-pkg: dependency base-4.1.0.0 doesn't exist (use --force to override)

I don't think it is the headers, I tried this:

cd /usr/include
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers GL

which should put them where anyone can find them.

Guys,

The GHC in /opt/local makes me think that this might be an issue re: an incompatibility between the MacPorts/Fink? version of GHC and the binary installer. I'd like to point out (if it wasn't clear) that this package is intended to be installed along with the official GHC binary distribution.

[seabre]

If you're having this problem, and you don't have fink/macports/whatever installed you probably don't have the latest version of GHC or have it at all. So, installing it will definitely fix your problem.

[arnarbi@…]

I was running a self-compiled version of GHC 6.10.1, which includes base 4.0.0.0. After installing the 6.10.3 binary package (which has base-4.1.0.0) everything works fine with the platform installer.

Can we close this? Obviously it has nothing to do with the OpenGL package itself, but with the OS-X installer. I don't have a clue what a "postupgrade script" is, it is not part of the OpenGL package.

Component: OSX Installer.

Greg Collins has the decision to close.

[gregorycollins]

Closing, this one is almost definitely an incompatibility between MacPorts/Fink? GHC and the OSX installer. Now that we're explicitly bundling them together the issue shouldn't appear.

If anyone is still seeing this with the "official" installer, please re-open.
