That's exactly what I did--in fact clone a fresh GHC and try again, but no luck. I attached the full logs in my second message, which have the details--let me know if the attachment is not readable. Thanks very much for your help.JohnOn Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 3:16 PM, Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> wrote:I’ve seen a very recent commit that mentioned bumping a TH bound. Maybe pull, make clean and try again?

Subject: build fail with latest 8.1 sources
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the latest 8.1 sources on a Mac running El Capitan. I'm getting an error I'd never seen before and wonder if anyone has any pointers of how I might fix things. I blew away my GHC, re-cloned from github, reconfigured and I still get the same error.
The following are the relevant output lines; the problem is that the template-haskell version doesn't seem to match. I'm not sure whether this is coming from the template-haskell in 8.1 or in 8.0.1 (which I'm using to build 8.1), but checking the latter I have version 2.11.0.0 which I assume should be sufficient.
