the solution here is to compile Setup.hs with ghc first, i.e. "ghc
--make Setup.hs" and then use the produced Setup.exe, this is also
recommended un linux since runghc will have to load and interpret many
modules if not.
However if you've already built cabal-install against 1.6.0.1 you can
simply "cabal update" and then "cabal install Cabal cabal-install" to
get both working with the latest code.

Hi!
I've just installed ghc (v 6.10.1) for Windows, and it seems to be installed correctly, and now I'm trying to install Cabal (v1.6.0.2), but I'm getting the following error message (along with a lot of warnings about a deprecated something-or-other, which I assume I can ignore):
C:\Temp>runghc Setup configure -p

During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol: SHGetFolderPathA@20 This may be due to you not asking GHCi to load extra object files, archives or DLLs needed by your current session. Restart GHCi, specifying the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and -lmissinglibname flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi command line. Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi. If you suspect the latter, please send a bug report to: glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org
Am I missing a dependency, or is ghc not installed properly, or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks, David. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
