it's ghc 7.4.1 that came with fedora.
yes i wiped ~/.ghc and ~/.cabal and it's still the same problem.
i didn't know those cabal flags.
i see some infos in the log, maybe i can even figure it by myself now:

Hi.
I've been using this hackage package "rex" without problems on two computers (linux, windows) but now I fail setting it up on a third computer which confuses me, and the error message is not really enlightening for me:
$ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org $ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.16.0.2 using version 1.16.0.3 of the Cabal library $ cabal install rex Resolving dependencies... cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: trying: rex-0.3.1
That's a bad error message indeed ;)
What's your GHC version? Is this an otherwise clean package database? Can you post the output of "cabal install rex --dry-run -v3"? If the log is too long to attach to a mailing list mail, just mail it to me personally.
Cheers, Andres
