Well, maybe for newbies this might be a bit confusing.
Typically, under Windows Vista or 7 when you try to install something
Might it make sense to try and get the concept of global and user
working in Windows? (It may already, but I noticed that the default seems to
be global.)
I don't know what technical challenges there are, but the ApplicationData
directory (or AppData, or whatever) seems like a good place to stick

Note that the the first module to be compiled is Main. On my linux

It's compiling the setup program which is presumably used by cabal to

Via cabal:
--constraint='base4'
or replace Control.Exception with Control.OldException
or add 'base 4' to the depends in the .cabal file.
Thanks, Don.
Trying your first suggestion, I get the same result for the first and third
method, and a ghc panic on cat_evals for the second
Yo ho! I just installed ghc-6.10.4 over my 6.10.3. Now 'cabal install
lhs2tex' works. Phew!
