Well, it looks like you have installed Cabal-1.20.0.0 without dyn libs. It's easy to get confused by the package cabal-install installing a tool called `cabal`, while the underlying library is called Cabal. So, when you run `cabal --version` you are checking which version of cabal-install you have, and which version of Cabal *it* is using. However, when you build aura cabal-install isn't used (based on my reading of it's PKGBUILD), it uses a method that goes straight to Cabal and it then uses the latest version installed. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar
