Cabal bugs on Windows
Hi, I get this error on multiple machines running Windows, with both GHC 6.10.4 and 6.12.1: $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.1 $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream This is the same error as reported on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/636. I'm also not the only Windows user I know who has got this. Is Cabal broken in some way? It's fairly serious and annoying that GHC 6.12.1 can't be used with Cabal. Thanks, Neil
Hi,
Following advice on the haskell-cafe@ mailing list I found a solution.
It turns out if cabal-install is compiled using GHC 6.12.1 then
everything works.
Thanks, Neil
