I am using something like this:

c:\ghc\ghc-6.5.20061001\bin\runghc Setup.lhs ....

for building. So an old binary shouldn't matter. With -v option I saw that:

-package comlib

is passed. Is it possible to have .tar.gz bundle compiled with an old
Cabal? I suppose that runghc is always using ghc from its own
directory instead of those in the path.

Cheers,
 Krasimir

I just looked in the Cabal sources from the 6.6 branch:

      let ghcArgs =
                 pkg_conf
              ++ ["-package-name", showPackageId (package pkg_descr) ]

So it certainly passes the entire package ID (including the version) to GHC.  So
I'm confused!  Could you perhaps have an old Setup binary left in your build 
tree?

Cheers,
       Simon
