Hmm a strange one - do you have quite an old version of the tidal library installed?

If so, you should be able update it with cabal update then cabal install tidal --lib from a terminal window.

I have this answer when I type "cabal install tidal --lib"

J'ai essaye cabal install tidal --libdir=DIR but I have the same problem

No problem - you just have an older version of haskell that does things a bit differently. Just miss off the --lib, i.e. just cabal install tidal

When I do "cabal install tidal" I get a lot of mistakes and it ends up there.
