the deleting .ghc/ solves that problem, but another problem i&#39;ve had is that when trying to build gtk2hs, I&#39;m unable to find the package.conf file that apparently needs to be modfied, and only  a package.conf.d  folder.... are these somehow the same thing or where is it hidden/what am i overlooking?<div>

&gt; I can&#39;t seem to find it documented anywhere as to the default directories<br>

</div></div>Cabal uses the ghc-pkg &quot;database&quot; to know which libraries are installed.<br>
If you want to wipe everything and start afresh, then delete the ~/.ghc<br>
directory (assuming you did per-user installs).<br>
