Hi,
After reading the latest article on the Haskell Hacking blog (Daily Haskell:
Download and analyse logs, then generate
sparklineshttp://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/%7Edons/blog/2008/06/24#daily-haskell-one)
I wanted to install cabal-install to check it out. Soon I found out that it
has a dependency on
Cabal (>=1.4&&<1.5), so next thing to do was getting and installing
Cabal-1.4.0.1 (since the version coming with
ghc-6.8.3 is 1.2.4.0). But during the configuration part of the installation
I got the following error:
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:
