Thanks for everyone's help with this so far. However, I'm having some problems using cabal:
Whenever I try to runghc Setup.hs install a cabal file (I've tried parsec and network) I get an error message similar to this: Setup.hs: parsec.cabal:15: Unknown field 'build-type' I tried to install Cabal from darcs and I also got an error message when trying to configure: Setup.lhs: cabal-install.cabal:30: Invalid syntax (no colon after field name) Does anyone else have these problems? Or, am I doing something obviously wrong? Thanks, Chris.
