Cannot install EclipseFP. This is because scion-browser cannot be installed. This is because terminfo cannot be installed, giving the following error:

"configure: error: curses headers could not be found, so this package cannot be built "

1) Install the ncurses library and zlib1g libraries using:

apt-get install zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev

2) Courtesy: http://eclipsefp.github.com/dev.html

In the new Eclipse window that (hopefully) pops up, set the location of the Scion server via Window > Preferences > Haskell > Scion. If you installed it in a fairly standard location, the Autodetect button should do the trick; otherwise, just Browse.

    A note for the others: the bindings of the `scion-browser` of versions `<= 0.2.3` are broken. For it to install you'll firstly have to install `persistent-sqlite`, `persistent-template` and `persistent` of versions 0.6.x manually. Otherwise newer libs of `persistent` family will get installed, which the `scion-browser` is incompatible with, but doesn't have a proper restriction in bindings. – Nikita Volkov Jan 28 '12 at 21:37
  • Yup! Googling because stupid FP kept trying to install scion-browser and the rest. This looks like it fixed that. – Edward Strange Jan 02 '13 at 02:21
