I've been wrestling the last few days with putting Haddock documentation into my code. After a dead-simple library failed to generate anything meaningful, I gave up, turfed my copy of Haddock and downloaded the latest from the web site. (Haddock 0.8, it seems.)
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure runhaskell Setup.lhs build runhaskell Setup.lhs install
These three worked fine and I verified with "which haddock" that the right executable is being run. Then I typed "runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock" and got this:

This is exactly the same problem I had running Haddock on my own project. What's the next step from here?
You've just ran into Cabal bug #14, or maybe #102. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/14 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/102 Stefan
