[Haskell-cafe] Re: cabal: : openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

[Job Vranish]

I tried updating to ghc-6.10.4 and have exactly the same error.
Also ghc doesn't seem to be able to find any of the haskell platform
packages, even though it ghc-pkg finds them just fine.

For example (trimmed for brevity):

ghc-pkg list
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf:
    Cabal-1.6.0.3,
...
    parsec-2.1.0.1, pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1,
...

ghci -v readModel.hs
GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.10.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by
GHC version 6.8.2
Using package config file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf
...

readModel.hs:9:7:
    Could not find module `Text.Parsec.Language':
      locations searched:
        Text/Parsec/Language.hs
        Text/Parsec/Language.lhs
Failed, modules loaded: none.
...


ghc-pkg finds parsec, but ghci can't find it.

And if I do a cabal -v3 update I get a:
cabal: 3: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Anybody figured it out?
