That was indeed the problem. I edited the pkg-config file by hand. I followed your advice anyway and unregistered and re-installed. Everythingworks now. Thanks for your help. Brian On Oct 28, 2009, at 11:58 AM, Duncan Coutts wrote:

Just found the following file:
.ghc/powerpc-darwin-6.10.1/pkg-config
and it is referring to 0.5.0.1.
Is there anyway to regenerate the file, or is it broken because of a problem with the package ?
It all started with this:
Loading package binary-0.5.0.1 ... can't load .so/.DLL for: HSbinary-0.5.0.1 (dlopen(libHSbinary-0.5.0.1.dylib, 9): image not found)
What's (probably) going on is that you deleted the files for the binary-0.5.0.1 package but did not unregister it. You probably also have other registered packages that depend on binary-0.5.0.1 (because that's the version they were built against).
You can use ghc-pkg to forcibly unregister binary-0.5.0.1 and rebuild the other packages that depended on it.
Generally I recommend just leaving old packages and rebuilding things when necessary (which cabal-install will do automatically) rather than going about deleting or unregistering older versions of packages.
