GHC_PACKAGE_PATH failure with Haskell platform 2012-04 #44

Open ArthurClune opened 11 years ago

ArthurClune commented 11 years ago

When using the latest Haskell platform and cabal 1.16.0.2, virthualenv fails on cabal commands e.g.

$ cabal install --only-dependencies --dry-run cabal: Use of GHC's environment variable GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is incompatible with Cabal. Use the flag --package-db to specify a package database (it can be used multiple times).

unset GHC_PACKAGE_PATH at the top of the cabal skeleton seems to fix it for me.

Thanks for the fix, @ArthurClune, works for me.
