Based on my experience installing cabal install (see below), I would tend to conclude that these instructions for installing maybench does not go well together with > $ ghc --version > The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.6.1 at least.

Please understand that I know that this is not the place to complain about this, I merely wish to document that I did make an effort to work around the problems that I encountered. In fact, I tried several other things (and if you are interested, I will gladly tell you about them) that also failed. > > 2.

I did try to install it as an ardinary Cabal package, but got: > Setup: maybench.cabal:8: 'Executable' stanza starting with field 'category' I didn't try to investigate this further. > ...
