oops, forgot to reply to all. haven't used a mailing list in a while. =P
this did not solve my problem. also, dons suggested using runhaskell
Setup.hs --constraint='base<4', which worked for him apparently.
neither suggestion has changed my error message at all, and I've
cleaned and reconfigured between each attempt. any other ideas?
also, this section of the .cabal may be relevant:
Build-Depends: base,
haskell98, mtl, HUnit,
QuickCheck >= 1.0 && < 2.0
If flag(splitBase)
Build-Depends: base >= 3, containers, random
Else
Build-Depends: base < 3

This error is due to usage of old base package in version 3.
In .cabal file add dependency on base-4, in form "base >= 4".

what should i do? need this in order to build hdbc 2.0, which i'm hoping solves a problem i was having earlier (memory leak).
