Wow...I have a user. I wrote hprotoc, and I am adding support for protobuf-2.0.2 options in the next version of protocol-buffers and hprotoc. Let me see if I can help.... I just tested the tarball again and it "Works for me". I bet you are compiling without the necessary ghc flags. Cabal should be including those. I am using ghc-6.8.3 with Cabal-1.4.0.2 and tested with the command:
cabal-install --verbose --user hprotoc-0.3.1.tar.gz
Of course, I already have protocol-buffer-0.3.1 and protocol-buffers-descriptor-0.3.1 installed. The line 48 in my copy of Parser.hs says
type P = GenParser Lexed
Changing that to
type P a = GenParser Lexed a
still compiles and works for me. But I would be surprised if that fixed all your problems. Thanks for asking for help instead of giving up, Chris Magicloud wrote:

Works for me with GHC 6.10,
What's your system configuration? Which GHC, which version of Cabal, which libraries already installed?
