Glad you got it to work!  For future reference, the fact that the
error message includes a package name and version number
(bytestring-0.9.2.1:Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString instead of
just Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString) is usually a very strong
indication that the real problem is multiple versions of the package
interfering with one another.

Thanks for assist Brent!    (Always wanted to say that etc).

Well, this was the first time that it has ever happened to me and so I
guess I didn't appreciate the underlying cause.... once bitten and all that.

Thanks again everybody!
:)
