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". All best

this is the error message i get:
ezekiel-smithburgs-macbook-pro-15% runhaskell Setup.* build Preprocessing library testpack-1.0.0... Building testpack-1.0.0...

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).
