I have been eager to try out 6.12. Unlike many of the recent snapshots, this one built and installed fine on Mac OS X 10.6 :).
Is there an extralibs tarball that I should use with this? I installed the release candidate without said tarball. First, I noticed that my old version of cabal-install could not parse the output from ghc-pkg-6.12.0.20091010: cabal: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump' Then, when I tried to build the network package manually, I got this: Building network-2.2.1.4...
