Loading package network-2.3.2.0 ... linking ... ghc.exe: unable to load package 'network-2.3.2.0' ghc.exe: C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\cabal\network-2.3.2.0\ghc-7.4.2\HSnetwork-2.3.2.0.o: unknown symbol '_acceptNewSock' Failed to install cabal-dev-0.9.1 cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install: cabal-dev-0.9.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1

I deleted C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\cabal\ and C:\Users\x\AppData\Roaming\ghc\ before trying the install, and I used cygwin to execute cabal install cabal-dev. network-2.4.0.1 can be installed without any problems.

I'm having the same issue with a clean install of platform 2012.4.0.0 on Win7 while trying to install cabal-dev. Has anyone had a chance to look into this?

We're aware - the version in git should work (please test it, and let us know if you have problems).

A new release needs to be made, but we've been having issues with the build slaves that confirm multi-platform support. Automating builds on windows is a bear, so your experience with the version in git will be valuable.

I just tested the version in git and I can confirm that it installs perfectly. Thank you very much for replying so fast.

Works for me too.
