How can I get cabal to install acid-state?

Question

I'm a newbie to Haskell, and wanted to try the acid-state library, but I get the following output when trying to install it:

>cabal install acid-state
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring acid-state-0.7.5...
Building acid-state-0.7.5...
Preprocessing library acid-state-0.7.5...

 )

src-win32\FileIO.hs:43:5:
    Not in scope: `catchIO'
    Perhaps you meant `catch' (imported from Prelude)

src-win32\FileIO.hs:55:6:
    Not in scope: `tryE'
    Perhaps you meant `try' (imported from Control.Exception.Extensible)

src-win32\FileIO.hs:56:6:
    Not in scope: `tryE'
    Perhaps you meant `try' (imported from Control.Exception.Extensible)
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
acid-state-0.7.5 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Thanks!

I just ran into the same problem. Temporary workaround: install an older version of acid-state

cabal install acid-state-0.7.0
