Please, how to return GHC to Cabal-1.0 ?
I have installed ghc-6.4.1.20050806-i386-unknown-linux in my home. Then I tried to upgrade Cabal in GHC to 1.1.1. For this, I istalled Cabal-1.1.1 to my home.
Then, there appeared a certain difficulty in building application.
But now I decide to stop these experiments (have not time now to struggle with complications) and to return to regular ghc-6.4.1 (with Cabal-1.0).
And cannot!
Then, I remove the installation directory and install ghc-6.4.1-pre binary by new, starting from `configure'.
Then ghci -package Cabal
crashes, reporting something of Cabal-1.1.1.
You should really cut and paste the *exact* command and error message, we can't tell much from this. Don't worry about spamming us with too much detail. To return to Cabal-1.0, you should simply unregister Cabal-1.1.1, assuming you haven't also unregistered Cabal-1.0. 'ghc-pkg list' will tell you which packages are registered, and whether they are registered globally or locally to you. 'ghc-pkg unregister Cabal-1.1.1' will unregister Cabal-1.1.1, for example. If it is registered for you only, then you will need to add the --user flag. Additionally, you probably want to delete the files that belong to Cabal-1.1.1. 'ghc-pkg describe Cabal-1.1.1' will tell you where the files live (before you unregister it, of course). Cheers, Simon
