I am getting error while using "cabal build all" cmd

Question

I am new to plutus. I am trying to learn plutus for which I am using "plutus-starter" code to begin. while using "cabal build" i am getting following error:

Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: Win32-network-0.1.0.0 (user goal)
[__1] trying: base-4.16.4.0/installed-4.16.4.0 (dependency of Win32-network)
[__2] next goal: byron-spec-chain (user goal)
[__2] rejecting: byron-spec-chain-0.1.0.0 (conflict:
base==4.16.4.0/installed-4.16.4.0, byron-spec-chain => base>=4.12 && <4.15)
[__2] fail (backjumping, conflict set: base, byron-spec-chain)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: base, byron-spec-chain, Win32-network

How can I solve this.

Answer 1

You are using the wrong version of GHC which supplies the base library.

According to https://www.snoyman.com/base/ base version 4.16.* is supplied by ghc-9.2.* .

From the bounds required on base (base>=4.12 && <4.15) I would suspect you should be using ghc-8.10.7.
