Hi, I used the cabal-install on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/cabal-install
In order to install it you will need these two packages first: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HTTP-3001.1.4 http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/zlib-0.5.0.0 For each package (starting with the last two of course), run: > runghc Setup configure > runghc Setup build > runghc Setup install Once its all done, you can instead use >cabal install x to install package x, and don't need to care about dependencies anymore. And theres nothing else you need to do in order to integrate it with ghc either... /Tobias -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wolfgang Jeltsch Sent: den 18 november 2008 11:01 To: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Subject: [Haskell-cafe] GHC 6.10.1 and cabal[-install] Hello, I installed GHC 6.10.1 today and expected it to contain the cabal command line utility. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Where can I download it? How do I install and configure it so that it is integrated best with GHC 6.10.1? For example, should cabal use some directory in the GHC tree to place compiled packages in? <http://hackage.haskell.org/> still links to cabal-install for a convenient way for installing packages. I thought that cabal-install is outdated. Isn't it? Generally, Cabal info and documentation ist too hard to find on the web, in my opinion.
