Re: [Haskell-beginners] Fwd: cis194 hw7 question - getting example to work

Hmmm... wasn't able to use cabal: (note I use tsocks regularly to get around our firewall) sudo tsocks cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Warning: http error: Network.Browser.request: Error raised ErrorClosed cabal: Network.Browser.request: Error raised ErrorClosed But I was able to install using: sudo tsocks apt-get install libghc-ghc-mtl-dev I guess I'll practice using cabal at home...

You can see examples of how to use Cabal and sandboxes to install packages like mtl in an article I wrote for HowIStart:

People are getting steered toward minimal GHC installs on purpose. New people have to learn how to install packages anyway. You just have to show them and then they can handle it fine.

Is my haskell install messed up? Have the libraries changed since the homework was created?

It sounds like you have a minimal ghc installation. Many things were shifted from ghc's minimal install to the Haskell Platform.
