I am using something like this:
c:\ghc\ghc-6.5.20061001\bin\runghc Setup.lhs ....
for building. So an old binary shouldn't matter. With -v option I saw that:
-package comlib
is passed. Is it possible to have .tar.gz bundle compiled with an old
Cabal? I suppose that runghc is always using ghc from its own
directory instead of those in the path.
Cheers,

Building with -package-name comlib-0.1 helps. I saw that Cabal from HEAD is passing the full package id to GHC but the version compiled in ghc-6.5.20061001 is passing just the package name. Maybe the change wasn't merged in GHC-6.6 branch or the bundle wasn't build from the actual sources.
I just looked in the Cabal sources from the 6.6 branch:
let ghcArgs = pkg_conf ++ ["-package-name", showPackageId (package pkg_descr) ]
So it certainly passes the entire package ID (including the version) to GHC. So I'm confused! Could you perhaps have an old Setup binary left in your build tree?
