Weird. The "base" package is actually the most important package and should be included in the haskell-platform.

Anyway; you could try to do "cabal install base" or so.

cabal-install cannot install base; it is and must be part of the compiler. The error does not say that base is missing, it says that base is present but broken (stat() is a libc function, not part of base).

The recommendation to check with #gentoo-haskell, however, is a good idea; it's clearly a problem with the Gentoo package.

Many thanks for your prompt reply Brandon. I think you are right: In /usr/include/sys/stat.h: #if defined __GNUC__ && __GNUC__ >= 2 && defined __USE_EXTERN_INLINES /* Inlined versions of the real stat and mknod functions. */ __extern_inline int __NTH (stat (__const char *__path, struct stat *__statbuf)) { return __xstat (_STAT_VER, __path, __statbuf); } Please find more details in http://pastebin.com/DHium87b Best Regards Baojun
