Thanks to both for replies. There isn't much in the way of error messages:
arcadia:~/xmonad-compile:$ cabal install Resolving dependencies... cabal: There is no installed version of base arcadia:~/xmonad-compile:$
Try it with cabal-dev: $ cabal install cabal-dev $ cd ~/xmonad-compile $ cabal-dev install If it works, then the problem is related to your ghc user package db, if it fails, then look at the global package db and see if that looks wrong. If that looks right, then something weird is going on, but I suspect the previous steps will shed more light on the problem. (It's possible you'll have a similar issue building cabal-dev, but let's hope not, at least for the moment.) --Rogan
That's it. Quite a few people on Google report this error but no solutions seem to exist.
