Oh great, that's not what I expected:
$ cabal install cabal-install cabal: This version of the cabal program is too old to work with ghc-6.12+. You will need to install the 'cabal-install' package version 0.8 or higher. If you still have an older ghc installed (eg 6.10.4), run: $ cabal install -w ghc-6.10.4 'cabal-install >= 0.8' $ cabal install -w ghc-6.10.3 'cabal-install >= 0.8' Resolving dependencies... cabal: There is no available version of cabal-install that satisfies >=0.8
Oops, nothing higher than 0.6.4 on Hackage, even darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install is only version 0.7.5.
Right, the cabal-install 0.8.x release will appear in due course. It shouldn't be too long since I've already been using it for Hackage regression testing of ghc-6.12.
That seems to work, though, but I needed to manually install network, mtl and parsec before bootstrap.sh ran.
Yes, the bootstrap needs updating to take account of the fact that those packages are no longer shipped with ghc-6.12. Duncan
