#355: "./Setup.hs configure" does not find older Cabal version when a newer one is installed ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: The problem here is that by the time you're running `runghc Setup.hs` you've already fixed the version of the Cabal library that you are using and Cabal has no choice in the matter. This is solved by `cabal-install` because it is a program and builds Setup.hs using an appropriate version of the Cabal lib. So I don't think we can really fix it. The workaround is to use `cabal- install` or `runghc -package Cabal-1.2.4.0 Setup.hs`. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/355#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
