Thank Stefan, <br>
<br>
The latest mingw32 snapshot I see is 20070811. I installed it also,
and when I run ghc, it just crashes (WinXP). Happens when I run it
inside of emacs and also in a cygwin bash window.<br>
<br>
Is that a known problem? <br>

Upgrade GHC; Cabal should be installed but wasn't due to a bug in that<br>
snapshot.<br>
