You should be able to get it just by running cabal update & cabal install AC-Vector.
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/AC-Vector http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/AC-Vector/1.1.1/AC-Vector-1.1.1.... AC-Vector is a simple (single source) package only requiring the base package, so even without "cabal-install" (that installs the "cabal" binary) you should be able to download and unpack it: cd AC-Vector-1.1.1 ghc --make Setup.hs ./Setup install --user ./Setup build ./Setup install
When I run "cabal install" it says:
$ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install
I wonder which "cabal" binary was used? (from an old installation?)
If I run "cabal install cabal-install" as it suggests then it appears to do a lot of work, ending with this:
... [33 of 34] Compiling Distribution.Client.List ( Distribution/Client/List.hs, dist/build/cabal/cabal-tmp/Distribution/Client/List.o ) [34 of 34] Compiling Main ( Main.hs, dist/build/cabal/cabal-tmp/Main.o ) Linking dist/build/cabal/cabal ... Installing executable(s) in /home/jdh30/.cabal/bin
So a new binary was installed in /home/jdh30/.cabal/bin. Check if /home/jdh30/.cabal/bin/cabal --version shows cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library and replace your older cabal version (in your PATH). If you still see an older version (of the Cabal library) you may need to bootstrap cabal-install-0.8.0 and manually install parsec-2.1.0.1 and network (i.e. version 2.2.1.5) before (as described above for AC-Vector). Cheers Christian P.S. If you add "--global" to "cabal install" binaries will be installed under /usr/local/bin (and libraries in the global package.conf file)
