Re: Bad interface file error with GHC RC2

Did it work with earlier RCs?

It was working with a version slightly older than RC1. Definitely with a version without the advanced packages support.

Does comlib get wired into the compiler at all? I had a similar problem with base, where the compiler had the package name wired in: compiler/main/PackageConfig.hs: basePackageId = fsToPackageId FSLIT("base") but cabal was building it with -package-name base-2.0 To solve it I put -package-name base in ghc-options in the cabal file.

Thanks Ian

I am sure comlib isn't wired into the compiler. Perhaps there is a problem with Cabal somewhere. I will try to put custom -package-name option. If that works I will take a look into Cabal. Cheers, Krasimir
