People,
Please, how to return GHC to Cabal-1.0 ?
I have installed ghc-6.4.1.20050806-i386-unknown-linux
in my home.
Then I tried to upgrade Cabal in GHC to 1.1.1.
For this, I istalled Cabal-1.1.1 to my home.
Then, there appeared a certain difficulty in building application.
But now I decide to stop these experiments
(have not time now to struggle with complications) and to return to
regular
ghc-6.4.1 (with Cabal-1.0).
And cannot!
Then, I remove the installation directory and install
ghc-6.4.1-pre binary by new, starting from `configure'.
Then ghci -package Cabal
crashes, reporting something of Cabal-1.1.1.
Then, I install Cabal-1.0, as tried earlier with 1.1.1
(change paths to point to home,
make setup
./setup configure --prefix=/home...
./setup build
./setup install --user
).
Then re-installed GHC.
And again, ghci -package Cabal
reports
