Hello Henk, I do not know if this would work, but it is worth trying to upgrade Cabal and cabal-install (1.22.5.0 is not the latest version) and seeing if this resolves your problem: cabal update cabal install Cabal cabal install cabal-install Edward Excerpts from Henk-Jan van Tuyl's message of 2016-01-28 15:45:19 -0800:

Hi Henk, I got that error too, earlier today when I tried to build macbeth with stack (upgrading to GHC 7.10). There is a cabal bug open that might fit. The bug is related to projects containing both library and executable. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2780 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/976 Am 29.01.16 um 00:45 schrieb Henk-Jan van Tuyl:

Hello Henk, Try passing -j1 to cabal. It sounds like there is some problem with setup executable caching, so I imagine that if you can disable it https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3003 that should solve the problem. I believe running Cabal HEAD should also fix this situation. Edward Excerpts from Henk-Jan van Tuyl's message of 2016-01-28 15:45:19 -0800:

It was the .cabal file that caused the problem; after changing the line: license-file: "" to license-file: "LICENSE" the package compiled properly.

Is this package on hackage? If so can you file a ticket for hackage-server to disallow this in uploads please? Either way, a cabal ticket for being more helpful here would good! On Sat, Jan 30, 2016 at 7:00 PM, Henk-Jan van Tuyl wrote:

It is not on Hackage; I tried 'cabal check' and it warns about this  
mistake:
> cabal check
The following warnings are likely affect your build negatively:
* The 'license-file' field refers to the file '' which does not exist.

Ha, what an incredibly correct yet unhelpful error message! Nice debugging.
