catch \(e :: SomeException) -> ...
So, this changes the API (from 6.8 to 6.10)? I see there is Control.OldException (providing the "old catch") but that still does not help me if I want my code compile with both 6.8 and 6.10. Is there some version of catch that works both ways? best regards, J.W.

Build your package using base-3 rather than base-4. Duncan

Another option would be for someone to fill out http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/extensible-exceptions/ so that it becomes a complete replacement. Currently it only has what we needed in GHC. Thanks Ian
