New information, may be helpful. I manually installed hamlet 0.8 with cabal-dev, and it seemed to install. Here is the message
Registering hamlet-0.8.0... Installing library in /home/mlitchard/hamlet-0.8.0/cabal-dev//lib/hamlet-0.8.0/ghc-6.12.3 Registering hamlet-0.8.0... Then I tried to manually install yesod. Here's what I got. mlitchard@apotheosis:~$ cd yesod-0.8.0/ mlitchard@apotheosis:~/yesod-0.8.0$ cabal-dev install Resolving dependencies... cabal: cannot configure yesod-0.8.0. It requires hamlet ==0.8.* There is no available version of hamlet that satisfies ==0.8.* I noticed it did not install in the $HOME/.cabal/ path. How do make sure it does that? I think if I can get it to install in the right place this will work out.
