Hi, After following the quick unix instructions here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/CabalInstall#QuickInstallationo... Cabal itself seems to download and install okay, but then the HTTP dependency fails, I think. I get the following error anyway (and the same error if I re-run).
Checking installed packages for ghc-6.6.1... parsec is already installed and the version is ok. network is already installed and the version is ok. Cabal is already installed and the version is ok. HTTP-4000.0.4 will be downloaded and installed. zlib-0.5.0.0 will be downloaded and installed.

My GHC is:

I'm running OS X 10.5.6 on a 1.3 GHz PowerPC G4. Any ideas? :-) Thanks, Benjohn
