Hi Duncan, May I ask you to comment on the below? The context is that Zooko got a weird error trying to cabal install darcs, namely:
cabal.exe: ghc-pkg describe * failed. If you are using ghc-6.9 and have an empty user package database then this is probably due to ghc bug #2201. The workaround is to register at least one package in the user package db. cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install: So I asked him to trying cabal install zlib first (to populate the user package db), but then.... (see below) Thanks!
