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.
