I have to admit, cabal-install has generallly just "worked" for me (as an amateur starting out with Haskell), whereas arch-haskell has often incurred failures when building. I am going to try again from a clean sheet, and if I still have issues with arch-haskell, I will start raising them with the community.
A few times when I've commented on threads relating to package managers and cabal-install I've also heard comments along the lines of "most questions related to installing Haskell libs come from users of distro package managers, not from from users of cabal-install". However, this doesn't match my personal experience at all. If you do indeed have /any/ problems with [haskell-core] then please raise them on github.com/archhaskell/habs (or here if that fails) since I'm very interested in making sure our packages install and work properly. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. -- Thomas Jefferson
