I tried updating to ghc-6.10.4 and have exactly the same error. Also ghc doesn't seem to be able to find any of the haskell platform packages, even though it ghc-pkg finds them just fine.
For example (trimmed for brevity): ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf: Cabal-1.6.0.3, ... parsec-2.1.0.1, pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1, ... ghci -v readModel.hs GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.10.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 6.8.2 Using package config file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf ... readModel.hs:9:7: Could not find module `Text.Parsec.Language': locations searched: Text/Parsec/Language.hs Text/Parsec/Language.lhs Failed, modules loaded: none. ... ghc-pkg finds parsec, but ghci can't find it. And if I do a cabal -v3 update I get a: cabal: 3: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) Anybody figured it out? - Job Vranish On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 11:17 AM, Thomas Hartman <tphya...@gmail.com> wrote: > cabal -v3 update > > will give you a more verbose version of what is going wrong. > > cabal --help > > regrettably, cabal --help doesn't tell you this but there is always > the man page I suppose. > > 2009/7/16 Tony Hannan <tonyhann...@gmail.com>: > > Hello, > > > > I'm on Ubuntu 8.10. > > I installed ghc 6.10.4 (from binary package: > > ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2). > > I installed haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 (from source package: > > haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1.tar.gz).
