Can you advise ? Thanks

I have the same problem (cabal install implicit) failing on Ubuntu 18.04.

I haven't tried the dev build.

[sorki]

I've tested a build on ubuntu-18.04 using modified CI environment https://github.com/sorki/ImplicitCAD/commit/03822355f65ab71a4829d5eeee83ed9326bc8031 and it passed for all supported GHC versions with Cabal 3.4 https://github.com/sorki/ImplicitCAD/actions/runs/2212608265

Closing, re-open if it still doesn't work for you.

[sorki]

To clarify, development version does build fine now. For cabal instal implicit we need to publish a new release.

[unrealwill]

Thanks. Can't test anymore as I have moved to 20.04.

[sorki]

Closing as the new version was published some time ago.
