Alas, an old cabal binary was being picked up from /usr/local/bin. Cheers for the help, D ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I get a curious message when trying to run 'cabal list': $ cabal list omit some lines... .. Latest version available: 0.3 Category: Network Synopsis: Pure bindings for the MaxMind IP database.
