I just installed Haskell and have been trying to get it going, but when I tried to start it up, it does this:
C:\Users\isaac>cabal install
Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' does not exist. Run
'cabal update' to download it.
cabal: Error reading local package.
Couldn't find .cabal file in: .
C:\Users\isaac>cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
It has been like that for 10 hours now. I don't know if it's even possible to see how much progress, if any, it's made, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. The version is:
C:\Users\isaac>cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.24.0.2
compiled using version 1.24.2.0 of the Cabal library
All of this has been just to get Cairo working (on Windows).
