[Haskell-cafe] shakespeare >= 2.0.2 fails to install in OS X 10.6.8, Haskell-platform 2014.2.0.0; cabal-install 1.22.4.0

Fri Jun 19 07:52:11 UTC 2015

Hi,

I think Stackage will solve these issues - indeed, I believe that
Stackage grew out of the difficulty of installing Yesod and its
dependencies straight from Hackage using cabal.

If you download https://www.stackage.org/lts/cabal.config next to your
own .cabal file then it will constrain cabal to only use a set of
packages which are known to be mutually compatible.

Hope that helps,

David
