First off, I apologize if this has come up before. As far as I can tell, the mailing list archives don't have a search function. I'm running ghc-6.6 and haddock-0.8, both compiled from source. I'm working my way through the "How to Write a Haskell Program" tutorial (which is a great idea, thanks guys!), and everything works fine until I get to the part about creating the haddock documentation. When I run: $ runhaskell Setup.hs haddock I get this: Preprocessing executables for haq-0.0... Running Haddock for haq-0.0... Warning: cannot use package haq-0.0: ghc-pkg failed With verbosity: $ runhaskell Setup.hs haddock -v I get this: Preprocessing executables for haq-0.0... Running Haddock for haq-0.0... /usr/local/packages/haskell-misc/bin/haddock --html --odir=dist/doc/html/haq --title=haq --use-package=haq-0.0 --use-package=base-2.0 dist/build/tmp/Haq.hs Warning: cannot use package haq-0.0: ghc-pkg failed Note that I'm installing into a non-standard location. I have no idea why haddock (called from cabal) is trying to use a package that is in the process of being created. Nevertheless, the documentation does get generated. Is this just something that should be ignored? Is it a Cabal bug? Mike
