Hi Deb,

You can always take the tar file you downloaded from Hackage, and then unpack it and go into the directory you unpacked it into and type "cabal install". It may be missin dependencies, and then you will also have to download those from Hackage.

Ozgur,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
I have tried with at ghc command prompt:
 
ghc>cabal update -v
 
But the the message remains the same as before:
 
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: failed
Is the any method to install manually? or if any.
 
Regards,
 
Deb

The following message appears:
 
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: failed
 
Is there any solution for it please?

To start with, you can run cabal update -v to get a more detailed output about the cause of the failure.
