Hi all, I've just installed freebsd-8 in a VM for use as a buildbot for a project that uses haskell. I've install ghc-6.10.4 from the ports and would now like to get cabal-install, but that doesn't seem to be available in the ports. So, what's the easiest way to get cabal-install?

At the moment, the best way to get cabal-install installed on your system is to simply download it and build then install. Note that if you want to use it on the system level, I do not recommend you to use other FreeBSD Haskell ports than lang/ghc. Here is a short recipe: $ pkg_add -r wget $ fetch http://haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-0.8.2/cabal-install-0.8.2.tar... $ tar -xzf cabal-install-0.8.2.tar.gz $ cd cabal-install-0.8.2 $ sh bootstrap.sh $ setenv PATH $PATH:$HOME/.cabal/bin Hope that helps, :g
