I noticed the aeson version 1.2.3.0 fails on this PC and that 1.2.2.0 works on the other PC so I tried cabal install aeson-1.2.2.0 and that fails on THIS PC as shown below : [17 of 23] Compiling Data.Aeson.Types.ToJSON ( Data/Aeson/Types/ToJSON.hs, dist/build/Data/Aeson/Types/ToJSON.o ) ghc: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 4332269 (GHC version 8.2.1 for x86_64_unknown_linux) Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug cabal: Leaving directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-9392/aeson-1.2.2.0' Failed to install aeson-1.2.2.0 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: aeson-1.2.2.0 failed during the building phase.
