What's your locale? Could also be that GHC tries to interpret UTF-8 in your locale and barfs on that.
Not sure ? Vista's default.
Which probably isn't UTF-8. There must be an analogue of locale on Windows to check.
Are you on Windows ?
No, linux.
Ah
How do I get Cabal to install a package from disk rather than from the internet ?
If it's unpacked, just cd into the package directory and do a $ cabal install there (optionally provide further command line args, but not the package name) or $ runghc ./Setup.hs configure --user $ runghc ./Setup.hs build $ runghc ./Setup.hs install If it's a .tar.gz, I don't know if cabal already supports installing those from a specified location (i.e., not from hackage or its cache).
Many thanks,
Aaron
