Hi, how can I install the base-4.3.1.0 package. I tried first
cabal install base
that gives me this error: Resolving dependencies... cabal: Distribution/Client/Dependency/TopDown.hs:169:37-73: Non-exhaustive patterns in lambda I googled for this error and found nothing but the simple statement in the track system http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/605: "cabal install base is not expected to work, however the error message should be better, see #597. " (but the link to #547 doesn't solve the problem either) So I downloaded base-4.3.1.0 package from hackage and run:
runhaskell Setup configure
which gives this error: Setup.hs:1:0: attempting to use module `Prelude' (./Prelude.hs) which is not loaded Then I noticed that there is configure script in the base-4.3.1.0 dir, so executed this which yields this error message: config.status: error: cannot find input file: `base.buildinfo.in' Why is it so complicated to install the base package? Thanks for any help!
