I'm trying to build the latest regex base, which is required for the other regex packages under ghc 6.7
It complains that it can't find Data.Sequence, because it's in a hidden module containers. I added containers to the cabal depends as can be seen in the grep below.
And containers isn't hidden when I do ghc-pkg list.
What gives?
Still getting used to cabal...
Did you re-run configure after changing the cabal file? Also, what ghc-pkg says has absolutely nothing to do with this; the options Cabal passes completely override the ghc-pkg exposure flags.I can hardly fault you for not knowing the answer to a Cabal FAQ, since Cabal doesn't actually have a FAQ list yet. You are running into the same problem as http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-August/030276.html, and most of my explanation there applies here. Stefan
