I'm stuck at trying to get Data.Encoding package functional. Cabal gives the following error message:
This is caused by a problem with the cabal file in the encoding package. Often it causes the entire GHC package system to get confused, as pointed out by Brandon. The problem is that encoding depends on HaXML, but only sets a lower bound for the version of HaXML (>= 1.19) with no upper bound. The encoding package does not work with the current version of HaXML. There have been several bumps of the major version number of HaXML (1.22 > 1.19). A lot of people have been experiencing problems due to this bug. I am including the person listed as the maintainer of the encoding package in the CC to this message. I hope that the bug will soon be fixed. In the meantime, you can edit the cabal file of the encodings package manually. (Set its version number to something weird, with extra components, to avoid future problems.) Hope this helps, Yitz
