Sorry about the delay in my response.

Can you try running the setup script manually?

ghc --make Setup.hs ./Setup configure

and see if it prints an error that's any more helpful?

Also, what operating system and version of ghc do you have?

Has anyone else hit an unexplained *ExitFailure 139* when trying to install the *haskeline* package?

Thanks, -db

IIRC Setup uses the global database by default. Try ./Setup configure --user. (Wow, it's been a long time since the last time I didn't use cabal install.) * Niklas Hambüchen [2013-10-26 13:51:19+0100]

When I follow these steps, I do not get a segfault, but instead

./Setup configure Configuring lifted-base-0.2.1.0... Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: base-unicode-symbols >=0.1.1 && <0.3, monad-control ==0.3.*, transformers-base ==0.4.*

despite having all these dependencies installed.

It doesn't make clear where the segfault comes from though, does it? On Sat 26 Oct 2013 16:27:48 BST, David Banas wrote:
