Scratch.hs:1:1: Could not find module ‛Prelude’ There are files missing in the ‛base’ package, try running 'ghc-pkg check'. Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
I'm building on Mac OS 10.7.5, and my build.mk is set to 'quick'. Any ideas? Thanks, Richard

I bet if you run ghc-pkg check it will say that base is broken due to a missing librts... (try changing your build.mk to this:) GhcLibWays = $(if $(filter $(DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS),YES),dyn v,v) Excerpts from Richard Eisenberg's message of Tue Mar 26 19:22:35 -0700 2013:

Yep. That change did it.
My Makefile-fu isn't quite strong enough to feel comfortable changing the build process, but perhaps someone should take a look at this, because I doubt I'm the only one who would have the problem.
Thanks, Edward!
