Hi Dusan,
Am I doing something wrong if I get the following error during cabal installation of hlint? Is there any way how to solve it?
The problem is that version 1.15 of hscolour released recently is incompatible with 1.13 which HLint was being tested against. I've now switched over to hscolour 1.15 and released HLint 1.6.6, which does work with hscolour 1.15. This should solve your problem. I didn't spot this email as I've been busy recently and have not had a chance to read through haskell-cafe, but I did get your personal email (but replied to everyone so that everyone can see the solution). In general when emailing about my packages it's usually best to email haskell-cafe and CC me. Thanks for reporting the issue, and do let me know if the new version still doesn't work. To upgrade you should be able to do: cabal update && cabal install hlint Thanks Neil
