Following a successful install of the Haskell Platform on MAC OSX, I proceed to update my Windows PC. Frustration followed. I am blocked by a "Permission Denied" error when I do a "Setup install":
ghc --make Setup
[58 of 58] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, Setup.o ) Linking Setup.exe ...
Setup configure
Configuring Cabal-1.8.0.4...
Setup build
Preprocessing library Cabal-1.8.0.4... Building Cabal-1.8.0.4... Registering Cabal-1.8.0.4...
Setup install
Setup: permission denied
I changed the permission on folders in the "Haskell Platform" directories to "full control", without any effect. I have searched the web for help but could not find my problem. Can't help but think it is something trivial but what? Help appreciated. Ralph Hodgson, @ralphtq http://twitter.com/ralphtq
