Greetings,
I'm trying to recompile & reinstall the haskell platform 12.2.0.0. I have installed it successfully on a prior occasion but I decided to reinstall as I think I may have messed up my installed packages a bit while playing around with yesod. I intend to use cabal-dev or virtualenv for that in future.
So I thought I'd do a clean install. I blew away my haskell platform and ghc, both of which were installed in a dir under my home dir. I also blew away my ~/.cabal/ dir.
I then reinstalled by ghc 7.4.1 into ~/prg/haskell-platform-12.2.0.0.
I then unpacked the sources of haskell-platform-12.2.0.0 and configured it with the prefix set to where ghc is.
configure finished without error so I ran 'make'. It quits with what follows. How do I fix this??
With thanks,
Jeff

src/Data/Ranged/RangedSet.hs:64:8: Could not find module `Test.QuickCheck' There are files missing in the `QuickCheck-2.4.2' package, try running 'ghc-pkg check'. Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
I would suggest start by doing what it says just above: run `ghc-pkg check`. This will give you a list of broken packages. For each such package `P`, run `ghc-pkg unregister P`. Then you can try installing Haskell Platform again, starting with the configure step. For a detailed explanation of what's going on here, see Albert Lai's "Storage and Identification of Cabalized Packages": http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/sicp.xhtml
