Something's up with hat-2.05 on my system. It hasn't installed its package correctly. ./configure, make, sudo make install reported no errors, but trying to build using 'hmake -hat' produces this error:
ghc-6.6: unknown package: hat
I don't know why the hat package is not installed on your system. But I did find some packaging errors that mean, even it hat was installed, it would not work with ghc-6.6. Essentially, ghc now needs to know both the package name _and version_ when building the library, otherwise the linker gets confused and can't resolve names. I've pushed a fix to the darcs repo, and will probably re-roll the 2.05 distribution as well. Regards, Malcolm
