Putting

import Distribution.Compat.FilePath

in my source results in

Could not find module `Distribution.Compat.FilePath': it is hidden (in package Cabal-1.1.6)

I want to use 'joinFileName'.

I found this thread from the cabal-devel list

http://www.mail-archive.com/cabal-devel@haskell.org/msg00162.html

and I was hoping that my cabal version would have an unhidden FilePath module... apparently not. Can I unhide it somehow?

How about using this instead: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/libraries.php#filepath

The only reason would be that it isn't in my GHC install by default (I'm on Debian Sid). However, I suppose I can look at this as an excellent first experiment with Cabal and packaging Haskell libs for Debian :-) Thanks for pointing it out.
