You need to reinstall random package with profiling libraries enabled. This is simple:<div><br></div><div>&gt; cabal install random --reinstall --enable-library-profiling</div><div><br></div><div>I think all libraries that ships with GHC should have profiling libraries build too, but for some reason it is not so.</div>
