build-depends: base, directory because directory dependency is unresolvable. Do I have to specify "extra-libs" so that correct library space is searched? Actually I tried this and it didn't help. ??

So, here's[1] the package "directory", however it ships with GHC, so you very probably already have it installed. Try `ghc-pkg describe directory` to check. Also, run `ghc --version` to see what version of GHC you are running. If it's < 6.8, you may have problems because the directory package didn't exist before then, I believe the same modules were in the base package. In that case, the easy solution is probably to upgrade GHC.
