It looks like the binary package got its own instance for the version
datatype. You could probably make it build by just removing that instance
from Binary.hs.
And I don't want to dissuade you, but unless there is a reason for you to
use jhc, just be aware that ghc has pretty much become the defacto haskell
compiler and the others have started to bit rot.

Hello, I want to build jhc 0.82 on debian/amd64. I downloaded the sources and successfully configured the build. The compilation fails with this error:
[149 of 186] Compiling Ho.Binary ( src/Ho/Binary.hs, src/Ho/Binary.o )
src/Ho/Binary.hs:164:10: Duplicate instance declarations: instance [overlap ok] Binary Data.Version.Version -- Defined at src/Ho/Binary.hs:164:10 instance [safe] Binary Data.Version.Version -- Defined in `binary-0.8.0.0:Data.Binary.Class' Makefile:1441: recipe for target 'jhc' failed
The corresponding source code in src/Ho/Binary.hs is:
import Data.Binary import qualified Data.Version
instance Binary Data.Version.Version where put (Data.Version.Version a b) = put a >> put b get = liftM2 Data.Version.Version get get
In the package binary, is this error due to this line ?
import Data.Version (Version(..))
Any hint to solve this ?
