Hi
There was some issue with having a sufficiently up to date version of Alex. No idea whether that's your problem, but I'd get the latest Alex anyway
A certain irony - one of the reasons I am trying to upgrade Cabal is because Alex gave Cabal errors, which seem like they might be due to an old version of Cabal. Thanks Neil
