Hi I'm a Haskell newbie. I just installed Haskell on Windows 7 x64 (Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 containing GHC 7.6.3), and have been using cabal-install to build/install from Hackage all the "helper executables" required and/or supported by EclipseFP, the Eclipse Haskell Plugin.

All the helper exe's installed without any issues, except for one: scion-browser 0.2.18. All its dependencies seemed to build fine, and it built fine up until the near the end of the link phase when the link to Persistent-sqlite 1.2.1 failed. Here is the error message (path information elided):

.... Loading package persistent-sqlite-1.2.1 ... ghc.exe:
Unknown PEi386 section name `.drectve' (while processing:\persistent-sqlite-1.2.1\libHSpersistent-sqlite-1.2.1.a)
ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.6.3 for i386-unknown-mingw32):
loadArchive "persistent-sqlite-1.2.1\libHSpersistent-sqlite-1.2.1.a": failed
Failed to install scion-browser-0.2.18

I understand what the message is saying, but I don't know how to go about resolving it. I have of course cleaned and retried a few times. But I get the same error.

Any and all suggestions on how to resolve or work around this issue so that I can provide EclipseFP with a usable scion-browser, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
