It's a bug in the package that was exposed when Cabal-1.6.0.2 started checking for header files and C libs. I reported the bug to the package maintainer at the time of the release of Cabal-1.6.0.2. Until the maintainer updates it, the fix is to edit the .cabal file and simply remove the mention of Linker.h. You can use the new cabal unpack command: cabal unpack plugins cd plugins-1.4.0 vi plugins.cabal cabal install Duncan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
