The above isn't a git-annex problem but a dbus problem, at first I thought I didn't have the network package installed, but did. I should probably report this problem to the haskell dbus author.

On a slightly different note, based on the makefile DBUS is not enabled on OSX/BSD so I did not expect the cabal file to use dbus as well, I'm currently interested in poking at the webapp stuff ;)

Although DBUS is available on OSX from macports I get the feeling that the haskell-dbus package might need some poking before it works properly.

To continue, pulling, installing the dependancies (dbus is still boned) and building commit 6cecc26206c4a539999b04664136c6f785211a41

Which then lead me to doing a "cabal install -f-DBus" which spits out the following when trying to link the binary

I then just tried to build commit with 6cecc26206c4a539999b04664136c6f785211a41 (i have the needed dependancies installed), gives me this...

The latest version of the network package in hackage is network-2.3.0.14 which I have installed, this might also be the reason why dbus is broken. removing network-2.3.0.14 at least makes it happy again.

to remove the network-2.3.0.14 package

<pre>
ghc-pkg unregister network-2.3.0.14
</pre>

Hope the above isn't too random of bug/issue report.

----

going through <http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/network/2.3.0.14/doc/html/Network-Socket.html> shows that getPeerCred is only available on systems where SO_PEERCRED is supported, *sigh* OSX isn't supported and thus haskell-dbus is broken. Apparently getpeerid is more portable but it isnt supported in the network package. It looks like dbus support on OSX isn't really going to work too well till haskell-dbus gets fixed on OSX (or BSD?)
