Hi Haskell Users,
Thanks in advance.
As I have faced problem to install packages automatically, I am trying to install manually in Windows XP.
1. I have installed ghc in F:\ghc drive.
2. As a trial, I have downloaded the package array from http://hackage.haskell.org/package/array-0.3.0.1
3. I have used cygwin to unpack the files.
4. At DOS prompt (F:\Haskell\Literature\Packages\array-0.3.0.1\cabal install)
- It looks like installing in C:\Documents and Settings\userID\Application
Data\cabal\array-0.3.0.1.
- To install it in somewhere under F:\ghc (I have installed haskell in this directory), what
command (cabal instal ?????) should I use?
- At Prelude I have issued a command (Prelude> :show packages), it does not show the
package array. But it shows these packages:
packages currently loaded:
base
ffi-1.0
ghc-prim
integer-gmp
rts
But If I go the directory F:\ghc\lib, I can see not only array package, but also others
such as containers-0.3.0.0 and few others.
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
Regards,
Deb

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:

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.
