723,Strip path error under Cygwin,guest,,"I am using a new Windows 7 box using cygwin and the Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0. I am working with cabal-install version 0.8.2
using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library. Cabal config is default located here:
\\fs1\grad\users\pkeir\Application Data\cabal\config
Installing packages with cabal-install ends with an error relating to the path argument provided to strip (strip is present on cygwin):

cabal install cpphs

...

Linking dist\build\cpphs\cpphs.exe ...
Installing library in \\fs1\grad\users\pkeir\Application
Data\cabal\cpphs-1.11\ghc-6.123
Installing executable(s) in \\fs1\grad\users\pkeir\Application Data\cabal\bin
/usr/bin/strip: '\fs1\grad\users\pkeir\Application Data\cabal\bin\cpphs.exe': No such file
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:
cpphs-1.11 failed during the final install step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

It looks like strip is being given one less backslash than it needs at the start. The exe is however installed, and so this command does work:

strip '\\fs1\grad\users\pkeir\Application Data\cabal\bin\cpphs.exe'

Though of course the package remains formally uninstalled.
