[Haskell-beginners] cabal package haskore-vintage fails to build

[Dimitri Hendriks]

Hi all,

I'm new to this list, and know very little about haskell.
I am trying to install the package haskore-vintage 
on mac osx version 10.6.8, using cabal, but this fails;
see the log below.

I have ghc version 7.6.3, and cabal-install version 1.16.0.2.

$ cabal install haskore-vintage

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Related problems I found:
https://code.google.com/p/leksah/issues/detail?id=272
(no solution given).

And here: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1137
it appears they think it is a combination of Cabal 1.10 / cabal-install 0.10 and GHC 7.6 the causes the problem with "catch", but I use cabal 1.16.

Many thanks in advance,
Dimitri
