[Haskell-cafe] Haddock compilation problem

19 Jun 2008

      I just upgraded to ghc-6.8.3, using a linux binary, and I am having a
problem compiling Haddock.  Haddock 2.1.0 and Haddock 2.0.0.0 both
fail to build under ghc-6.8.3, but they both build successfully with
ghc-6.8.2.  I don't know if this is a Haddock problem, or a GHC
problem, or perhaps something else entirely?

Here is the error I'm getting.  It is the same error for either
version of Haddock.
