You probably have 6.8.2's Cabal (in the 1.2 series), while the package requires 1.4 (and 1.2 isn't smart enough to check versions).

How can you check that it requires 1.4 ?

The Cabal file says:

-- Tested-with: hugs 2003, hugs March2005, ghc 6.4.2, ghc 6.6

Hm, that implies otherwise; if it were 1.4 then it would have a cabal- version: field. I think I have to defer to someone else. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
