My guess would be that the "locale" is not properly set. The environment variable LANG should be set to something shown by "locale -a" (i.e en_GB). Other LC_* variables should not be set. The variables should not be "C" or "POSIX". (I was able to install syb-0.1.0.3 without a problem) Cheers Christian >> Try editing the author field to this: >> >> author: Ralf Laemmel, Simon Peyton Jones >> >> and rebuilding/installing. > > If it's a ghc-pkg problem, that might work. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
