You should be able to get it just by running cabal update & cabal install AC-Vector.

With 6.12 it may be that you don't have the cabal-install package installed already, so cabal install won't work.

If that's the case, you'll need to download cabal-install and it's deps and install it using runhaskell Setup.hs configure, runhaskell Setup.hs build ad runhaskell Setup.hs install.

That, or wait until 6.12 is considered stable enough to become part of the Haskell platform.

For reference – I can quite believe that Haskell came out incredibly fast here – it's trivially easy to parallelise haskell programs, and GHC deals with parallelisation well (except for garbage collection unfortunately).

Frankly, I don't believe their claims for a second. So I'd like to test their
code for myself. However, apparently their code needs some third-party
library that can be installed with:

 cabal install AC-Vector

but, on my machine, that only seems to make the library accessible to GHC 6.10
and not to GHC 6.12 (which is needed to compile this benchmark).

What is the easiest way for me to get this library working under GHC 6.12?
