They are available in the 'extra libraries' distribution on http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_661.html * ghc-6.6.1-src-extralibs.tar.bz2 (1.8 MB). I tried the arrows package and it failed with that message.

The version of Cabal shipped with 6.6.1 unfortunately isn't compatible with some of those packages, so you have to either (a) get binary versions of the libraries, presumably from the same place you got GHC, or (b) upgrade Cabal. You can also get the sources for arrows from its darcs repository, http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/arrows. The current sources are compatible again with the Cabal library in GHC 6.6.1. Cheers, Simon
