Hi, All --
I'm having some issues getting cabal-install to upgrade itself to the current version (Cabal 1.6.0.2, cabal-install 0.6.2):
$ cabal install Cabal cabal-install Resolving dependencies... cabal: memory allocation failed (requested 2097152 bytes)
Are you by any chance using cabal-install version 0.5.x with ghc-6.10? That version of cabal-install goes into an infinite loop when resolving dependencies because it cannot cope with the fact that base 3 depends on base 4. If you've still got ghc-6.8 installed then you could: $ cabal install Cabal cabal-install -w ghc-6.8.3 otherwise you'll need to bootstrap cabal-install freshly with ghc-6.10. Duncan
