I've just spent most of a morning trying to get bootstrap.sh from the cabal-install package to work. The trick is to use "ghc-pkg init pathname" to initialise the package file - simply adding an empty package file or directory doesn't work.
Whoever is responsible for cabal-install, could you please update the README to reflect this requirement. Thanks - Will _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
