Hi! Which version of stack are you using? Seems similar to this old fixed bug https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1232
How was it installed? If via the haskell platform, that sometimes doesn't work very well. Usual installation is to just install stack, and it can install other tools. If you are on an up-to-date version (1.5.1), then perhaps try deleting the dir at "stack path --stack-root", and also deleting the ".stack-work" in your current directory. Hope that helps! -Michael On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 3:40 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I just got started learning Haskell. And I chose to work with it on my PC > through stack.
