Chasing modules from: src/CabalInstall.hs Could not find module `Distribution.Compat.FilePath': it is hidden (in package Cabal-1.1.5) (imported from src//Network/Hackage/CabalInstall/Install.hs) make: *** [build] Error 1

The reason for this error is that cabal does not set the permissions on freshly installed librarys correctly on my machine. I don't know why this is the case, but I can provide information about my setup.

Thanks for the report! I think that this has already been fixed with the new cabal release. Is that so, Duncan? We had thought to hide FilePath, but it's apparently too popular to keep from the people. peace, isaac
