Hello people - trying to get back into Haskell again after previous flirtation
which was long enough ago to forget almost everything, it seems.
I appear to be lost in a mirror maze in trying to work out again how to bring
my platform more up to date on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
The macos link for download at
http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html
however does not seem to work. I do not get a working installer package just an
"Unknown" 204mb file.
?
Sniffing around via GHC pages I find this page:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/distribution_packages
where it says
"For Mac OS X we provide a native system installer, available on the download
page for each release. We recommend using these installers "
However the 'download page' link just takes you circularly back to
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download
?
This page
http://www.haskell.org/platform/index.html
says the the current platform version is 2013.2.0
>From my own past notes I should currently have platform 2011.4.0.0
I do definitely have GHC 7.0.4-x86_64
I also ran 'cabal update' as I dimly remembered that I should do this, and it
indicated there was another version of cabal install available by doing a
"cabal install cabal-install" but this complains:
"$ cabal install cabal-install
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure process-1.2.0.0. It requires base >=4.4 && <4.8
For the dependency on base >=4.4 && <4.8 there are these packages:
. . ."
I have base 4.3.1.0 (as indicated by GHC-PKG LIST).
I thought refreshing the overall package level would be the most
straightforward way to update to a consistent state as at least the first step.
Hopefully I'm just having a bad day...
I have two main motivations here (1) general refresh (2) get latest Open-GL
stuff - in case that affects the answer.
Can anyone recommend/remind/help with how best to approach this?
Many thanks/ Henry

It's possible that your download was corrupted or did not finish. If
you have a way to calculate the sha1 sum, you can compare it to the one
on that webpage. (For example, you could use sha1sum from the
md5sha1sum Homebrew package.) Or, if your connection is reasonably
fast, just try downloading it again.

Hi Friends,
When I tried to update cabal-install today by doing `cabal install
cabal-install`, I got the following message due to failure in compiling
Network/HTTP/Auth.hs, here is a screenshot of the process
?
I am using Mac OS 10.8.4, and I installed haskell from homebrew. Does this
mean something might have went wrong when I installed haskell? I have Xcode
5.1.1 and the latest command line tools installed. Does anyone know what
might be going wrong?
Thank you so much for your help!
Best,
Hengchu
