Please tell me where I should post this if this is not the appropriate list.<br>

I tried to install the json-0.4.4 package on Mac OS 10.5.8, and got this error:<br>
<br>
$ sudo cabal install "json-0.4.4"<br>

applies because I'm using higher versions than mentioned there:<br>
$ ghc --version<br>
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3<br>
$ cabal --version<br>
cabal-install version 0.8.2<br>
using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library<br>

I know Mac OS 10.5.8 is old, but unfortunately ugrading this<br>
particular machine is not an option.<br>
Hope someone can help.<br>
Thanks,<br>
