[Haskell-cafe] Re: cabal update : getHostByName

Hi,

Now, when I enter "cabal update", it answers this:

Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' cabal: getHostByName: does not exist (no such host entry)

I received the same error message. After a month I realized that my proxy settings were wrong. (I don't need proxy but the 'http_proxy' variable was present in the shell environment.) Peter
