Installing Haste: advice

[David Sands]

There seem to be some issues installing haste using cabal install haste together with the latest version of cabal.  You may find (as I did) that you get error messages when you try to run haste-boot. 

I suggest that you take the following alternative  route to install haste if possible:

1. Download the pre-built package for your system:  http://haste-lang.org/downloads/

2. Unzip the archive you downloaded (it will result in a directory called haste-compiler) and put it somewhere sensible on your system.

3. Add the haste-compiler/bin directory to your system path so it finds hastec etc.

4. Test HelloWorld.hs

Cheers

It worked well for me. I just had to make sure to use the right version of ghc and sudo
