You probably want to invoke Haddock like this:

 haddock
-i/usr/share/ghc-6.2.2/html/libraries/base,/usr/share/ghc-6.2.2/librarie
s/base/base.haddock

(all on one line).  The first path specifies the directory of the HTML
for the base package, the second path specifies the .haddock file for
the base package.
