GHC 6.10.2 will have a problem with cabal-install-0.6.2! When I tried to install cabal-install-0.6.2 for ghc-6.10.1.20090314 I needed to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in bootstrap.sh to avoid the following errors: -bash-3.00$ ./bootstrap.sh Checking installed packages for ghc-6.10.1.20090314... ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found parsec is already installed and the version is ok. ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found network is already installed and the version is ok. ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found Cabal is already installed and the version is ok. ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found HTTP is already installed and the version is ok. ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found zlib is already installed and the version is ok. ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found ./bootstrap.sh: !: not found Under Solaris sh is not bash! Next, ghc-6.10.1.20090314 comes with package unix-2.4.0.0, but cabal-install.cabal requests: unix >= 2.0 && < 2.4 Changing to "<= 2.4" was not sufficient, so I changed it to "<= 2.5". This will affect any OS! Testsuite results are bad for ghc-6.10.1.20090314, see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3106 Cheers Christian Christian Maeder wrote:
