Hi,

i am using ghc version 7.0.3 and a pretty recent version of the haskell-platform.

Whenever i use the System.Directory module, i run into this conflict:

Ambiguous module name `System.Directory':        it was found in multiple packages:            system-fileio-0.2.1 directory-1.1.0.0

How can i resolve this conflict permamently (i know about :set -hide-package ... )? And shouldn't there be a rule in the haskell platform which forbids modules of the same name?

1) Use PackageImports: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.3/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html#pac... import "network" Network.Socket 2) Use cabal-dev ghci which will only have packages available that you specify in your .cabal file.
