Hi,
I've followed the instruction from the upcoming book Real World Haskell to install cabal.
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)
Not sure which libraries you (cabal) is using here. On some debian System there has been a dns issue. You should check wether the tool is using the curl bindings http library and look for this problem in forums of your distro. Maybe try curl <url> That gives That gives: ... The document has moved to http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/ (note the last slash) for me. Maybe also try adding the ip of hackage.haskell.org to /etc/hosts for a temporary workaround ? You should also tell us which operating system you are using. Sincerly Marc Weber
