Hallo, I'm using Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0 on a Windows XP machine. This haskell platform includes cabal-1.8.0.6. Now I want to update cabal by "cabal install cabal". Installation works well. Call like "runhaskell ./Setup.hs" will use the updatetd cabal-1.10.0.0. But "cabal --version" says still 1.8.0.6 and I have to re-configure. How I update cabal in my current Haskel Platform? Thanks Klaus

cabal install cabal-install will not install the latest version of cabal-install due to a setting on Hackage (i.e. Duncan probably want to wait before automatically changing everyone over). You need to give the exact version: cabal install cabal-install-0.10.2 Johan
Hi Johan,
Thank you for the tip. After a tiny manupulation at my PATH variable it works.

What are the arguments for updating? Are you using ghc-7.0.2? Wait for Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0 that will be based on cabal-install-0.10.2! Cheers Christian Am 10.03.2011 11:27, schrieb Hauschild, Klaus (EXT):
