Right, you need the darcs version of cabal-install.

Many packages build fine, but linking Yi fails with:

Linking dist/build/yi/yi ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSrts_thr

I get the same error. -bash-3.1$ ghc --make CASL/capa.hs -threaded Linking CASL/capa ... ld: fatal: library -lHSrts_thr: not found ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to CASL/capa collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The libs exists in the built-tree but are not included in the "binary-dist" (and are hus not installed).

Ahh. I didn't notice at first you're both using ghc-6.10. So does that mean it's not the fault of Cabal-1.6 then? :-) Yay!

Note that the source builds do seem to install libHSrts_thr.a. I've got it for ghc-6.10.0.20081005 which I built from source. So presumably it's just a problem with generating the bindists.

Yup, it's a known problem in the RC bindist creation, and has since been fixed. Thanks Ian
