Hello, I am running ghc and tools on Ubuntu. I seem to be running into very strange problems between ghc-pkg and the Ubuntu package manager. Suddenly "runhaskell Setup.hs configure" just stops working ... Are any other ghc/Ubuntu users running into problems? If so, please tell me what problems. This is killing my Haskell work! Regards, Vasili

ghc-pkg list gives me ....

PS I have always installed ghc first via the Ubuntu package installer
followed by a build from ghc 6.8.2 source!

Vasili,
I have pretty much exactly the same set up as you seem to have. I
haven't had a single problem with running configure using cabal. In
what sense does it stop working?
Cheers,
Josef

Josef, Did you consistently only use the Ubuntu package manager to install and upgrade all "ghc" tools including the compiler, cabal?Or did you ever build the ghc compiler from source on your system on top of a Ubuntu package installed ghc like I did?
