I've been looking for some information and it seems to be related with the fact that Hoogle first builds a library and then build an executable using the library, but all files get recompiled in that second pass. Is there any way to workaround this problem?
Upgrading Cabal / cabal-install is a good place to start, if you're not already using the 0.10's. I also suggest using cabal-dev, since issues like this can be caused by combinations of dependencies that conflict. There's a good chance that you just have a weird mix of compiled libraries that don't all work together, and cabal isn't able/willing to rebuild everything necessary to make all the things in your user package db work together. I very recently installed Hoogle locally, on a fresh system, so I'm fairly confident it's still possible without too many headaches :). --Rogan
