Friends
I'm trying to repro #25064 with my development build of GHC. The test case depends on packages `primitive` and `hashtables`. So I try this (see below).
Alas, apparently after the `cabal install`, it can't find Prelude.
What should I do? I tried removing the "environments" file, whatever that is, which then meant it could find Prelude -- but the libraries were no longer installed.
I lack a decent model of what is going on with installing packages for my development builds. Is there a write up anywhere?
Thanks
Simon
