I've now used the -v option and it looks like haddock can't find the html files even though they are there :-( Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe the interface description files are broken, incomplete, or incompatible with your Haddock version?

budweis:~/work/Codec$ mkdir docs budweis:~/work/Codec$ url=http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries budweis:~/work/Codec$ hdi=/usr/local/ghc-current/share/ghc-6.5/html/libraries budweis:~/work/Codec$ haddock -v -h -o docs \ -i ${url}/base,${hdi}/base/base.haddock Codec/Utils.hs budweis:~/work/Codec$

No error here, and the external links worked too.

I've downloaded http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/base.haddock and I still get the same errors. Is this incompatible with Haddock version 0.6? [dom@tility Codec]$ haddock -V Haddock version 0.6, (c) Simon Marlow 2002 I don't think haddock gets as far as searching url=http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries because if I put url=http://gaskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries I still get the same errors. On the other hand if I put hdi=/usr/local/ghc-current/share/ghc-6.5/html/mibraries then I get a different error message: Fail: does not exist Action: openFileEx Reason: No such file or directory File: /usr/share/doc/ghc-6.4/mibraries/base/base.haddock So it looks like haddock is finding base.haddock but for some reason ignores what is in it :-( Dominic.
