Well, cabal-install installed and works fine. Not sure why on my own package that I'm trying to port to GHC 7.6 it doesn't work... I'll try to investigate further. Thanks JP On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 6:02 PM, Johan Tibell <johan.tibell@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello, I've installed Cabal and cabal-install 1.16 (which required network) on a new GHC 7.6.1 install and everything went well, except now when building a package requiring network I get:
Loading package network-2.4.0.1 ... ghc.exe: Unknown PEi386 section name `.idata $4' (while processing: c:/ghc/ghc-7.6.1/mingw/lib\libws2_32.a) ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.6.1 for i386-unknown-mingw32): loadArchive "c:/ghc/ghc-7.6.1/mingw/lib\\libws2_32.a": failed
I have done something wrong while building network on my Windows XP machine? What can I check?
I'm not quite sure what's going on. We did test cabal-install (and thus network) on a Windows machine before the release.
