Wps. I misread the earlier email. Did you wipe your .ghc dir and cabal/config files after updating to cabal-install 1.18? It could be a stale cabal config that has shared set to false or something? On Friday, March 7, 2014, José Pedro Magalhães j...@cs.uu.nl wrote: On Fri, Mar 7, 2014

It looks like the Mac builds are specific to the version of Mac OS X they were compiled on. This is very unfortunate, as now we'll have to produce at least four variants of HP for each. The only thing holding back a build on either Maverricks or Mountain Lion (10.9 and 10.8) from working on 10.7
