I had the same problem on Windows XP when doing cabal install cabal-install.
I fixed it by just replacing the cabal-install executable by the old one
used in the haskell platform.
Cheers,
Bas

may be related. Did your installation of cabal-install-0.8.0 also reinstall HTTP and
zlib packages? Yes, I installed the latest versions of that packages. Now I tried to
gradually go back to the versions before (HTTP-4000.0.9 to 4000.0.7 and
zlib-0.5.2.0 to 0.5.0.0), without any success. Finally cabal-install made it
at version 0.6.2, so the problem really seems to be at cabal-install-0.8.0. Good luck Christian Maciej Podgurski schrieb: Am 19.02.2010 12:57 schrieb Christian Maeder: Maciej Podgurski schrieb: Hi, after updating to cabal-install-0.8.0/Cabal-1.8.0.2 with GHC 6.10.4, I

help? Did you overwrite your old cabal-binary. If not, does this binary
also fail? Removing this file doesn't help. The old version was cabal-install-0.6.2
+ Cabal-1.6.0.2 with GHC 6.10.3. I deleted it because I changed to GHC
6.10.4, but it worked fine 2 days ago. (I think everything under ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org can be
savely deleted and will be downloaded again if needed.) Which architecture you're on? Windows XP Best wishes, Maciej Cheers Christian Best wishes, Maciej _______________________________________________
