Hi all, these are the steps I followed to get Haskell installed in my machine[1]: https://gist.github.com/2389324 The installation completed successfully, and gave me these instructions: Now do "cabal update" to initialize the package list But when I do, I get this message: Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install Which I do, but after another "cabal update" I'm given the same message, meaning that cabal-install was not actually updated. Any ideas on why this is happening? Best, -- Héctor [1] Specs for my machine: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
