I've been wrestling the last few days with putting Haddock documentation into my code. After a dead-simple library failed to generate anything meaningful, I gave up, turfed my copy of Haddock and downloaded the latest from the web site. (Haddock 0.8, it seems.)

runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
runhaskell Setup.lhs install

These three worked fine and I verified with "which haddock" that the right executable is being run. Then I typed "runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock" and got this:

michael@isolde:~/Development/haddock-0.8$ runhaskell Setup.lhs install

This is exactly the same problem I had running Haddock on my own project. What's the next step from here?
