Right, you need the darcs version of cabal-install.
Many packages build fine, but linking Yi fails with: Linking dist/build/yi/yi ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSrts_thr Indeed, there is no such file for 6.10: $ find ~/usr -name "*HSrts*" /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.0.20071018/libHSrts.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.0.20071018/HSrts.o ... /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts_debug.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts_p.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts_thr.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts_thr_debug.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/libHSrts_thr_p.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/HSrts.o /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.0.20081007/libHSrts.a /home/bernardy/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.0.20081007/HSrts.o Strangley, compiling by hand works: $ ghc -cpp --make Main.hs -idist/build/autogen/ -idist/build/yi/yi-tmp/ -IYi/Lexer -XTypeSynonymInstances -XRankNTypes -XFlexibleContexts -XGeneralizedNewtypeDeriving -XDeriveDataTypeable -o M -threaded $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.10.0.20081007 $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.5.10 using version 1.6.0.0 of the Cabal library (fetched from repo this morning) Cheers, JP.
