for ghc-6.12.1, you need cabal-install-0.8, http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install I'm afraid the Haskell Platform is still for 6.10, I don't know whether there's a windows binary around anywhere. > > However, when I try to install any library, I get: > > C:>cabal install graphviz > cabal: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump' > > I get the feeling that I miss some step during installation, but I > cannot figure out what that should be. > > I am the only user of my windows machine, and I have admin rights. > Any suggestions are welcome! Install the Haskell Platform with 6.10 and wait before you move to 6.12, or try getting cabal 0.8 to work by hand (if google doesn't reveal windows binaries). > > Han Joosten _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
