Failed to install z3-4.1.0 Build log ( /home/builder/.cabal/logs/z3-4.1.0.log ): cabal: Entering directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-12898/z3-4.1.0' Configuring z3-4.1.0... cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing (or bad) header file: z3.h * Missing C library: z3 This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is. If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages. cabal: Leaving directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-12898/z3-4.1.0' cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: z3-4.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 z3-encoding-0.3.0.0 depends on z3-4.1.0 which failed to install.
