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 --- On Mon, 20/9/10, Antoine Latter <aslatter@gmail.com> wrote: From: Antoine Latter <aslatter@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Fw: [Haskell-beginners] Installing package hsc3 – Haskell supercollider To: "Deb Midya" <debmidya@yahoo.com> Cc: "Ozgur Akgun" <ozgurakgun@gmail.com>, beginners@haskell.org Received: Monday, 20 September, 2010, 11:45 AM 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.
