Not sure if you're running into this one, but a configuration that<br>
wasn't working for me:<br>
<br>
1) Install Haskell Platform<br>
2) Install GHC 7.6.1<br>
3) cabal install cabal-install<br>
<br>
As I recall, the error had something to do with a Cabal-generated<br>
'Paths' file assuming the Prelude exported 'catch'. It was affecting<br>
a bunch of other packages too, which forced me to upgrade<br>
cabal-install.<br>
<br>
To get things working, I had to boot GHC 7.6 from my system PATH,<br>
upgrade cabal-install using GHC 7.4, and then put 7.6 back in the<br>
system path. After doing that, everything has worked well with GHC<br>
7.6.<br></blockquote><br>The issue is that cabal-install-1.16.0.1 is broken on Windows. We have a new, fixed cabal-install-1.16.0.2 out, but if you were unlucky enough to install the broken one you need to delete that binary and install cabal-install again (either by using the bootstrap.sh script in the cabal-install repo or by some other means).</div>
