[Haskell-beginners] Fwd: cis194 hw7 question - getting example to work

[Dustin Lee]

Hmmm... wasn't able to use cabal:  (note I use tsocks regularly to get
around our firewall)

sudo tsocks cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
Warning: http error: Network.Browser.request: Error raised ErrorClosed
cabal: Network.Browser.request: Error raised ErrorClosed


But I was able to install using:
sudo tsocks apt-get install libghc-ghc-mtl-dev

I guess I'll practice using cabal at home...
