Hi folks,

Since the time package is not included in ghc-6.10.2, I installed it via cabal. Then I tried to configure my project, and it says that the dependency is missing. Mysterious. Can anyone explain?

You need to use runhaskell Setup.hs configure --user, or else re-install time globally (as root). jcc
