I want to install Cabal library 1.6.0.2 on OSX 10.4.11. Unfortunately, none of my attempts so far appear to have worked. I already had 1.4.0.1 but it wouldn't upgrade when running "cabal upgrade", it just hangs. iainb$ cabal --v cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the Cabal library first attempt: iainb$ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install iainb$ sudo sh bootstrap.sh Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: Cabal >=1.7.2 && <1.9 Error during cabal-install bootstrap: Configuring the cabal-install package failed second attempt; I downloaded the tarball from http://www.haskell.org/ cabal/release/cabal-1.6.0.2/Cabal-1.6.0.2.tar.gz: iainb$ cd Cabal-1.6.0.2/ iainb$ sudo runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=/usr/local/ iainb$ sudo runhaskell Setup build iainb$ sudo runhaskell Setup install Installing library in /usr/local/lib/Cabal-1.6.0.2/ghc-6.8.3 Registering Cabal-1.6.0.2... Reading package info from "dist/installed-pkg-config" ... done. Saving old package config file... done. Writing new package config file... done. iainb$ cabal --v cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the Cabal library If I run "ghc-pkg list" then it displays: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.3/package.conf: Cabal-1.2.3.0, Cabal-1.6.0.2, ... /Users/iainb/.ghc/i386-darwin-6.8.3/package.conf: Cabal-1.6.0.2, ... I don't seem to understand what I'm supposed to do, or why 1.4.0.1 is the lib being used when it's not in the pkg list. Does anyone know how I can get cabal-install to use the new library? Any help is much appreciated. Iain
