Just get 13.10, I think Haskell platform missed the Ubuntu 12 release and it causes major pain.

apt-get install haskell-platform
cabal update
cabal install cabal-install # gets 1.18v

Add this line to the bottom of .profile
PATH="$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH"

Check cabal --version

Done.

Can I install the 13.10 package onto 12.04? Or do you mean upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 13.10? I've thought about that. Just makes me nervous.

I let the build run all night but there's an error in the html file it can't get past. I change the build file to not build the docs, and have restarted the compile. Sadly it's back on stage 0 but I'm letting it run all day while I'm at work.

I did try updating cabal before but didn't use "cabal install cabal-install". Maybe that will upgrade me. I wasn't able to directly upgrade base to 4.6.0.1 from within cabal that I could tell, and my base version was to old for your dependencies it seemed.

Edit: Perhaps I'm not meant to be a part of this project, lol.

Code:

[73 of 73] Compiling Main ( Main.hs, dist/build/cabal/cabal-tmp/Main.o )

But wait! ~/.cabal/bin you say?

Code:

cabal-install version 1.18.0.2
using version 1.18.1.2 of the Cabal library

But alas, even with cabal 1.18 I'm still stuck with base-4.5.0.0 which fails the base ==4.6.* check.
