This makes it seem like cabal doesn't have access to _any_ math.h file, but if this were the case, wouldn't I get many more undefined-function errors than I do?

Unless you are using an older ghc with -fvia-C, [...] I have 7.0.4.

7.0.4 has -fasm by default, but you can force -fvia-C still. With -fasm, the include files are not used afaik; since direct assembly code is created and not C code, a C include file is not useful.

Hmm, that's true... I don't really understand how .hsc files are compiled, but isn't the "#include " in cmath done in the very standard FFI style?

If warnings are on, I think that elicits a "this is not used any more" warning with -fasm.

So does nobody use cmath anymore? I'm trying to install the latest version (which is from 2008). Tom
