This line:
cabal: cannot configure unix-2.4.0.1. It requires base ==4.2.*
seems not to square up with the installed database:
~/ghc-head/bin/ghc-pkg list /Users/kfisher/ghc-head/lib/ghc-6.13.20100831/package.conf.d: base-4.3.0.0 ... unix-2.4.0.1
which suggests that the HEAD's libraries are misconfigured. The unix package has an explicit dependency on base-4.2.*, yet no base-4.2.* is installed (only base-4.3.*). Probably the HEAD's unix.cabal file needs to bump the permissible dependencies up a bit. Regards, Malcolm
