Interesting. I was unable to reproduce your problem. What platform are you running on? Are you using a binary distribution or one you built from source?
I'm running Gentoo Linux (x86). I emerged the latest GHC (6.6). So GHC is built from source.
The problem is Gentoo specific. Quick dirty fix: cp /usr/lib/ghc-6.6/HSCabal.o /usr/lib/Cabal-1.1.6/ghc-6.6/HSCabal-1.1.6.o The problem stems from incompatible build options. -split-objs for the ghc built library in /usr/lib/ghc-6.6 and no split objs for the one in /usr/lib/Cabal-1.1.6. The problem is ghc expects its own library, namely one that was built with split-objs. They are working on a solution, as they want to ship a stand-alone version of Cabal. I have no clue how this is going to work. -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org for robots: sp4mtrap@endorphin.org
