Hi all, when I try to install curl (needed for hxt) using "cabal install curl" I alwas get the following error message: Resolving dependencies... 'curl-1.3.2.1' is cached. Configuring curl-1.3.2.1... cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: curl-1.3.2.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was: sh: runGenProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory) I don't know what to do here. Can anybody help me please? I'm using the brand new GHC 6.10.1 on Windows Vista. Best regards, Martin.

Do you have the curl C library installed? Either way, that error message from Cabal isn't very good. Duncan? -- Don

The first problem is that curl uses a configure script and that needs 'sh' which needs mingw+msys or cygwin. That's what the error message is obliquely reporting. After that the next problem will be having the curl C lib installed.

Filed: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/403 It should be easy to fix. It's a nice simple bug for some new Cabal contributor. Speaking of Cabal contributors, we're a little short of them at the moment. I welcome people to check out our list of easy tickets: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/report/13 And to see the guide to the code base: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/wiki/SourceGuide Duncan
