[Haskell-cafe] How do I fix this error message?

[Peter Verswyvelen]

Although also a bit of a global hack, you could also hide one of  the
packages using

ghc-pkg hide mtl-1.1.02

instead of uninstalling them I think.

Also, if you make a cabal file, you could specify the exact module you
want to use.
