Hi, I don't think this is the same problem as the one mentioned by Alex (installing `network' works for me): {---------------------------------------------- $ cabal install X11 Resolving dependencies... Configuring X11-1.4.6.1... configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out [... configure stuff omitted...] checking for X11/cursorfont.h... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating config.mk config.status: creating X11.buildinfo config.status: creating include/HsX11Config.h config.status: creating include/X11_extras_config.h configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler Preprocessing library X11-1.4.6.1... hsc2hs: Graphics/X11/Xlib/Extras.hsc: hGetContents: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character) cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: X11-1.4.6.1 failed during the building phase.

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 6.12.1:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-rc2/
As well as the source tarball: ghc-6.12.0.20091121-src.tar.bz2 there are installers for Windows (i386) and OS X (i386), and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. For the Linux binary distributions, the "linux-n" tarballs are recommended over the "linux" tarballs.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team
