I'm a bit confused then. The darcs README. Says to run "configure" then
"build" then "install" in that order. It sounds like you are saying that
only "install" is required.

 From the darcs README:

    $ cabal configure
    $ cabal build
    $ cabal install

###

Anyway, "cabal install" fails for me too:

$ cabal install
Warning: No remote package servers have been specified. Usually you would have
one specified in the config file.
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure darcs-2.2.98.1. It requires hashed-storage >=0.3.3.1
&& <0.4 && >=0.3.3.1 && <0.4 and haskeline >=0.6.1 && <0.7 && >=0.6.1 && <0.7
There is no available version of hashed-storage that satisfies >=0.3.3.1 &&
<0.4 && >=0.3.3.1 && <0.4
There is no available version of haskeline that satisfies >=0.6.1 && <0.7 &&
>=0.6.1 && <0.7

#######

My hope is that darcs can be installable using "cabal" without users having to find and read any other documentation besides the "README" or "INSTALL" file, including reading separate documentation on setting up remote servers for use with cabal.
