Comment (by atomb):
Ah, I see what's happening now. Both the GHC installer package and the
platform installer package include mtl. The GHC one has profiling
libraries, but the platform one doesn't. But the platform packages
override the ones included with GHC. That's why it seemed as though the
libraries were installed but broken.
Personally, I would love to have profiling versions of the libraries
included by default. Other people may disagree, though.
In the long run, the GHC bundle probably shouldn't include packages
included in the platform bundle, but I expect the current beta was
produced by just using a readily available GHC installer, which happened
to overlap a little with the platform.
