You might learn more by issuing the configure / build steps manually (I think `cabal configure` will produce an error). Upping the verbosity will also help: # get pages and pages of details: $ cabal install --verbose=3 I would first suggest trying cabal-dev, though (cab can delegate to cabal-dev now too, but I haven't played with it yet). $ cabal-dev install yesod-0.8 will either work or fail in a way that we can more easily reproduce. --Rogan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
