I think you should be able to build it if you manually download the .tar.gz file from Hackage and then type: runghc Setup configure runghc Setup build runghc Setup install The Control.Exception module was changed in ghc-6.10.1 (specifically, in the base-4 package). HXQ's code assumes that when compiling with ghc-6.10 you're always using base-4; however, that compiler also comes with base-3.0.3 which is a compatibility package providing the same interface as previous versions of ghc. The 'cabal install' program tries to be helpful and selects base-3.0.3 (since HXQ does not specify which to use), causing the above error. I've cc'd the package author on this. A possible fix would be to use the extensible-exceptions package, or otherwise just copy the logic from its .cabal file. -Judah _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
