Hi all, I downloaded cabal-install and the cabal-1.4 branch from darcs. The following error occurs when building:
runhaskell Setup.hs build
Building cabal-install-0.4.9... [19 of 27] Compiling Hackage.SrcDist ( Hackage/SrcDist.hs, dist/build/cabal/cabal-tmp/Hackage/SrcDist.o ) Hackage/SrcDist.hs:58:59: Couldn't match expected type `Char' against inferred type `Distribution.Simple.PreProcess.PPSuffixHandler' Expected type: FilePath Inferred type: [Distribution.Simple.PreProcess.PPSuffixHandler] In the fifth argument of `prepareSnapshotTree', namely `knownSuffixHandlers' In the second argument of `(>>=)', namely `prepareSnapshotTree verbosity pkg mb_lbi tmpDir knownSuffixHandlers' According to ghc-pkg compiling and installing the cabal-1.4 branch added cabal-1.3.12. Is this the problem? -Deech _________________________________________________________________ It’s easy to add contacts from Facebook and other social sites through Windows Live™ Messenger.

Could you try the cabal-1.4 package just put up on hackage.haskell.org? aditya_siram:

Yeah, sorry that was my fault. You caught it in the few hours when the two darcs versions were not compatible. They work now, or as Don says, get the actual releases from hackage. Duncan
Thanks so much for your help. Actually Don got it fixed within twenty minutes but I mistakenly didn't cc the group. But it works perfectly now. -Deech ----------------------------------------
