Hi, I am running GHC 6.12.3 at Mac OSX and have numerous problems with 'cabal install' of different packages.
[...]
Questions about current Haskell Platform for OSX 2011.2.0.1. : (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html)
1) Where can I find release notes to understand what version of GHC Haskell Platform for OSX 2011.2.0.1 includes?
I couldn't find a release notes document for Mac OS X but unpacking the .pkg file shows it has GHC 7.0.3.
2) Will I be able to install mongoDB-1.1.0 on this release?
Hackage shows that mongoDB-1.0.1 has been the latest package compiled with GHC 7.0. For GHC 6.x it's mongoDB-0.8.1. You might have more luck upgrading the Haskell Platform or choosing a older version of mongoDB.
3) How to install it into a separate location so it would not ruin my current platform?
You can install it under a different username. -- Giovanni
