Hi Ron,

...

I'm using GHC 6.8.3 with $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the Cabal library

I installed Data.Derive from hackage, only to be unable to find the 'derive' binary!

Did you do the runhaskell Setup configure && runhaskell Setup build && runhaskell Setup install?

I used 'sudo cabal install derive'. I did find the binary - in my user's .cabal/bin directory! Odd that it should default to that when run as root.

I don't have the darcs version working yet, though.

I've found that cabal install doesn't actually install anything on my system either, despite going through all the motions. I just download the tarballs of hackage and config/build/install them myself, and I then end up with all the relevant bits installed. Bob
