Hi, (Not sure if this should go down the hugs list or the Cabal one, so taking a wild guess). Trying to install a Haskell package: C:\Neil\cabaly\safe>runhugs Setup configure runhugs: Error occurred ERROR "C:\Program Files\WinHugs\packages\base\Text\ParserCombinators\ReadP.hs":1 56 - Syntax error in type expression (unexpected `.') I know the reason for this is because ReadP uses a forall type, which hugs doesn't parse without the -98 flag. runhugs -98 Setup configure works just fine. Sadly thats not the best possible user experience - is there anything better that can be done? Does Cabal absolutely require ReadP? Thanks Neil
