Hello Stefan, Thanks for your reply. Now I have found a repository here, is this the right one? http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/unix/ However, it doesn't build for me: $ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/unix/ ... $ cas configure --user --prefix=$HOME && cas build && cas install --user Setup.hs:17:30: Couldn't match expected type `UserHooks' against inferred type `Maybe UserHooks' Expected type: Hook a Inferred type: PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> Maybe UserHooks -> BuildFlags -> IO () In the second argument of `($)', namely `buildHook defaultUserHooks' In the `buildHook' field of a record $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.6 Is this a cabal version problem? Yet it seems odd that unix-2.0 builds, but unix HEAD which also has version 2.0 doesn't build... I have a project which depends on 'unix' which I would like to use, so if you can point me to a working version or tell me what to fix then it would be helpful.

Hello,
I am having trouble loading the unix package. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have just installed it from hackage. As you can see below, the error message complains about an unknown symbol 'lstat', which is not in libc.

This is an unstable Debian installation.
When I try the same on a system with ghc 6.4.2 and unix-1.0, there is no problem. That system has libc 2.3.6, which also lacks an 'lstat' symbol.
Thank you for your help.
This is a duplicate of an already reported bug, fixed in HEAD. (unfortunately I can't find the number today)
