Thanks for this. It turned out that there were some old files in /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d/* which were confusing ghc-pkg and cabal. I deleted these and re-installed ghc via the package manager and I am now back working (although not on the Haskell Platform afaik). All I had wanted to do was install the "statistics" package and 3 hours later I had ;-) Dominic. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
