"cabal install random" cannot run in my situation, because I have not cabal usable in the command line (I only have the Cabal library in the place where the ghc-7.4.0.20111219 libraries are installed). My idea is that having installed GHC, I use the GHC packages and, probably, do not need to install Cabal (why complicate things?, why force a DoCon user to install extra software?). > That said, I'm sure AC-random is a fine alternative, and there are > many other packages on Hackage as well, including cryptographic > strength ones (crypto-api, intel-aes, etc). I tried AC-Random, and see that it suggests just different classes, with different operations. So that all the Random instances in my application must be re-programmed. So is the consequence of being out of Standard, and out of GHC ! ------ Sergei mech...@botik.ru _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
