I'm guessing that is indeed the problem, though I cannot reproduce the error
(but I'm using Cabal-1.8.0.2).
Assuming this is the cause of the problem, what is the best correction?
Encoding the cabal file as UTF-8 or removing the accent? Do earlier versions
of cabal deal well with UTF-8?...
Cheers,
Pedro

Subject: Fwd: Installing syb(-0.1.03) package in head version
of Haskell Hi Simon, I'm trying to get the PADS file we were working on compiling
under the HEAD version of Haskell, but I'm having trouble
getting the Data.Generics module to install. I sent the
question below to the libraries@haskell.org last week, but I
haven't seen any replies. Is that the right address? Or is
there a different place to ask such questions? Thanks for any pointers!
