I finally noticed that the error is coming from the new GHC executable, not the cabal-install executable. So building the new version won't help me, as evidenced by trying to run 'ghci' in this state: >>> $ ghci GHCi, version 6.11.20090724: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help ghc-stage2: /home/alatter/usr/lib/ghc-6.11.20090724/package.conf:40:168: parse error on input `Nothing' <<< It looks like I'm not allowed to install any GPL or LGPL licensed software with Cabal :-) Antoine _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
