Here's how I got it working on kubuntu :<br>
<br>
</div>1) install GHC 6.8.3 from <a href="http://haskell.org" target="_blank">haskell.org</a>'s binaries (kubuntu hardy isn't<br>
at 6.8.3 yet....)<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d">2) download from hackage :<br>
* cabal-install-0.5.1.tar.gz from hackage<br>
</div><div class="Ih2E3d">* HTTP-3001.0.4.tar.gz<br>
</div>* zlib-0.4.0.4.tar.gz<br>
* Cabal-1.4.0.1.tar.gz<br>
<br>
3) build and install http, zlib, Cabal and then cabal-install<br>
<br>
for each package you have to type (*) :<br>
<br>
runhaskell Setup.hs configure<br>
runhaskell Setup.hs build<br>
sudo runhaskell Setup.hs install<br>
<br>
(*) sometimes it'll be Setup.lhs, I'm annoyed that it's not always the<br>
same name, can't rely on shell history :(<br>
<br>
4) once cabal-install is installed you can do<br>
<br>
cabal update<br>
sudo cabal upgrade --global<br>
<br>
that'll upgrade all your ghc's packages.<br>
<br>
5) from now if you want to install package a just type<br>
<br>
cabal install a --global<br>
<br>
cabal should download packages b,c,d for you if required.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
P.S. Sorry for the previous email, it got sent before I finished it :)<br>
