Hi, Try a:
cabal update cabal install cabal-install
That will set you up with a newer version of Cabal, that should be GHC
6.12 compatible. Make sure you do all this while GHC 6.10 is on the
path, so it knows how to install cabal-install.
Thanks, Neil

I recently upgraded to GHC 6.12.1 on my windows system. Now I have trouble getting cabal right. I read the forums, and I got the cabal.exe for windows. I think I followed the upgrade instructions. However I do not get it all to work. THis is my version of Cabal:
C:>cabal --version cabal-install version 0.6.2 using version 1.6.0.2 of the Cabal library
However, when I try to install any library, I get:
C:>cabal install graphviz cabal: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump'
I get the feeling that I miss some step during installation, but I cannot figure out what that should be.
I am the only user of my windows machine, and I have admin rights. Any suggestions are welcome!
