[Agda] problems installing agda master using stack

[Martin Stone Davis]

I am trying and failing to build the latest agda (on the master branch).
My platform is parabola, which is an arch clone. A while back, I had
been able to use cabal install, but when that went south for some
reason, I hit upon using stack. Unfortunately, that also is not working
for me anymore. Hopefully, this is the right place to report this, or
you can direct me to the proper authorities.

I'm using stack Version 1.6.0.20171022 x86_64

Here's the command I am using for stack:

stack --stack-yaml stack-8.0.2.yaml install

I'm using stack Version 1.6.0.20171022 x86_64
stack --stack-yaml stack-8.0.2.yaml install

I'm not familiar with stack, but Travis and I couldn't reproduce using

$ stack --version
Version 1.5.1, Git revision 600c1f01435a10d127938709556c1682ecfd694e
(4861 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.17.1

Could you reproduce the problem using this version of stack?

I'm using my local installed version of GHC with stack, that is, I ran
the following command:

$ stack --stack-yaml stack-8.0.2.yaml --system-ghc install

I couldn't reproduce the problem using your version of stack. Googling by

old-time-1.1.0.3: configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

I found the same problem on Windows and Arch (Travis and I use Ubuntu).

My email program messes me up by defaulting to reply instead of
reply-to-list. Here's the solution I sent to Andrés.

Thanks Andrés,

Indeed, it looks like a problem specific to arch and stack. I followed
your search-text suggestion and eventually found the following solution:
I copied `stack-8.0.2.yaml` to `stack-8.0.2-arch.yaml` and added a line
`ghc-build: tinfo6`. Then the following command builds w/o error: `stack
--stack-yaml stack-8.0.2-arch.yaml install`.

For sake of completeness, the full file, `stack-8.0.2-arch.yaml` is here:

```
resolver: lts-9.12
ghc-build: tinfo6

# Local packages, usually specified by relative directory name
packages:
- '.'
```
