[Haskell-cafe] Memory usage of cabal install

Hello Haskell-Café, I have a problem with high memory usage of cabal-install. Whenever I try to install or upgrade a package, cabal manages to consume 1,3G of memory before I killed it (on a 32-bit machine with 1 GB of memory). Increasing verbosity does not help, memory consumption goes up after the message "Resolving dependencies..." shows up. I use ghc 6.8.2 and cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the Cabal library. Is there a workaround? I would like to avoid fetching & building packages manually. -- Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" -- Leonardo da Vinci
