Re: [xmonad] Cabal install problem

The OP was in fact running the cabal-install bootstrap script. The strange thing is why the cabal-install bootstrap script was trying to install the Cabal library. I don't know the answer though. -Brent On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 03:49:31PM -0400, wagnerdm@seas.upenn.edu wrote:

You should already have the Cabal library installed (it comes with GHC, and should not be upgraded -- it is released in tandem with changes to GHC's internals). If you are trying to install the "cabal" command, the package to get from Hackage is called "cabal-install".

Sorry about the weird naming, and good luck. ~d

Hi everyone I have some problem for install 'cabal-install package' I downloaded and succesfully build a binary source ghc-7.0.2. Then I want to install cabal-0.10.2 and ? see some warning and last output like this Linking Setup ... Configuring Cabal-1.10.1.0... Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: base >=4 && <3 && >=2 && <5, unix >=2.0 && <2.5
