        I've just spent most of a morning trying to get bootstrap.sh from the cabal-install package to work. The trick is to use "ghc-pkg init pathname" to initialise the package file - simply adding an empty package file or directory doesn't work. Whoever is responsible for cabal-install, could you please update the README to reflect this requirement. Thanks - Will
