[Haskell-cafe] problems installing cabal on windows

[Han Joosten]

Tanks for replying. 

I now see what went wrong:

I went to  http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-0.8.0/
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-0.8.0/  , because I had
read that I needed the 0.8.0 version. I read the page, and grabbed the
cabal.exe binary, assuming that it would be version 0.8.0. However, it was
the 0.6.2 version. 

Just too bad. 
I changed my path to ghc-6.10.2 again, and tried to install the new
cabal-install version:

   C:\>cabal install cabal-install
   Resolving dependencies...
   Configuring old-time-1.0.0.2...
   cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
   Cabal-1.6.0.3 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.
   HTTP-4000.0.7 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.
   cabal-install-0.6.4 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.
   directory-1.0.0.3 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.
   old-time-1.0.0.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
   sh: runProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
   process-1.0.1.1 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.
   random-1.0.0.1 depends on old-time-1.0.0.2 which failed to install.

I ran into installation problems with old-time before. do not know how to
solve that too. I guess I'll have to wait for ghc 6.12.2 to be launched....

Thanks!
