Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal failures...

20 Nov 2012

      Johan, thanks for the note and information.

My setup is: (Windows 7)
cabal-install version 0.14.0
using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.2
Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0

I had just done a "cabal update".
C:\Users\guthrie>cabal install -v cabal-install

I follow the Cabal-messes threads with some interest, since that is the hardest area for me since starting to use Haskell. Probably 40-60% of all package install fail for some mysterious reason, with threats that trying  to fix them will break more things, which generally is true. :-)

We're working on it. Be brave, things are going to get better!

Make sure that the place that the "cabal" binary gets installed into (which is printed at the end of the install) is on your PATH.

This is a sure sign that things are not going to work well. Could you include the output of

cabal install -v cabal-install

please. The output here is not enough to tell me what's going on. Please also include the output of

cabal --version
ghc --version

Are you using the Haskell Platform, if so, which version?
