RE: [Haskell-cafe] ghc package problem

Hi all, I was finally able to solve this by deleting the user package.conf.d completely. I think there was some problem with the package.cache file, It must have gotten corrupted somehow.

I've tried your suggestion, and with the --global flag it does work, but only if I keep using the global flag, when I just install as user again same thing happens. Maybe something's wrong with the user package conf.

Unfortunately installing as global requires admin rights and installs the tools as admins only, so I don't really want to continue using it like that.

So same error. This isn't just limited to HSE though, it can't find packages like random,time etc either. Keeps reinstalling them on every cabal install.

So every package you are having problems with is in your user package list? Perhaps there is some disagreement in either Cabal or GHC or both as to where those packages/that package file should be? Perhaps try a cabal install --global haskell-src-exts and see if that makes a difference, or attach --user to a configure command.
