Hi,
On a Debian stable (etch) system, I have the following packages installed:
jochem@huygens:/tmp/Cabal-1.4.0.1$ dpkg -l | grep ghc ii ghc6 6.6-3
Ok, so that's actually ghc-6.6 not 6.6.1
jochem@huygens:/tmp/bimap-0.2.2$ runghc Setup.lhs configure Configuring bimap-0.2.2... Setup.lhs: ghc version >=6.4 is required but the version of /usr/bin/ghc could not be determined. jochem@huygens:/tmp/bimap-0.2.2$
Cabal 1.2.3.0 seems to be working. What am I doing wrong? Or is this an unsupported combination?
It's an untested combination. I checked it with 6.6.1 but not 6.6. It is supposed to work (indeed it's supposed to work with 6.4) so we should figure out what's going wrong. Can you : $ runghc Setup.lhs configure -v3 It should give more detail about how Cabal called ghc and what string value it returned. Duncan
