Why not? Either way, I am chiming in as a programmer of many years. Unless
using osx I stick with windows to avoid half-day forays into nettling
technical issues that are not related to the work I am paid to perform. I
would love for Haskell to work better there.

If that friend is not a coder, they are unlikely to have the dev tools
installed.

even comparable to just sshing into another unix box and testing something

As a university student, I also find it relatively rare that I get to test

Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal failures...
I'm not quite sure what's going on. I've CCed Andres, who wrote the new
constraint solver.
One especially confusing part is this:

I'm trying to understand Cabal dependencies.
Why does the following situation happen?

But parsec is compiled with

But, wouldn't it be possible for xmobar to use mtl-2.0.1.0 and for
parsec to use mtl-2.1.1, while xmobar would use this parsec version?
In this case, I am assuming that mtl-2.0.1.0 and mtl-2.1.1 are
considered two different libraries.
Thanks,
