I think that's the answer. I just tried it on my windows machine and I got the following:

Probably so because the current ghc library documentation is generated
with Haddock 0.7 (which is the current cvs version of Haddock). We're
hoping it will be released officially in the not to distant future
(though if you like you can use the cvs version now as it's perfectly
usable).
The .haddock files are in a binary format and so are almost certainly not compatible between versions (like ghc .hi files).
It would be nice if haddock gave some sort of error message in this case rather than ignoring the file.

haddock
haddock: Warning: The interface file "c:\\ghc\\ghc-6.4\\doc\\html\\libraries\\ba
se\\base.haddock" could not be read.
Maybe it's from a later version of Haddock?
C:\Documents and Settings\Dom\Codec>haddock -v
C:\Documents and Settings\Dom\Codec>haddock -V Haddock version 0.6, (c) Simon Marlow 2003
Why does the windows version give a warning when the linux one doesn't when they both appear to be the same version?
And more importantly, can we have a version of haddock that is compatible with the latest release of ghc?
I've tried building from source but run into problems. I'll post these separately if I have time.
