What steps will reproduce the problem? Install git-annex via cabal - either from Hackage or as a manual install. (i.e. ) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expect a clean install. However, get the following error: Assistant/Install.hs:24:8: Could not find module `Data.AssocList' It is a member of the hidden package `hxt-9.3.1.1'. Perhaps you need to add `hxt' to the build-depends in your .cabal file. Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex: 3.20121127 OS: Mac OSX 10.6.8 Please provide any additional information below. The fix seems to be as simple as adding 'htx' to the 'git-annex.cabal' file: Executable git-annex Main-Is: git-annex.hs Build-Depends: MissingH, hslogger, directory, filepath, unix, containers, utf8-string, network (>= 2.0), mtl (>= 2.1.1), bytestring, old-locale, time, -- Added htx here hxt, pcre-light, extensible-exceptions, dataenc, SHA, process, json, HTTP, > I removed the need for hxt, which was accidental.
