[Haskell-cafe] ghc package problem

[Phyx]

I've tried your suggestion, and with the --global flag it does work, but
only if I keep using the global flag, when I just install as user again same
thing happens. Maybe something's wrong with the user package conf.

Unfortunately installing as global requires admin rights and installs the
tools as admins only, so I don't really want to continue using it like that.

So every package you are having problems with is in your user package list?
Perhaps there is some disagreement in either Cabal or GHC or both as to
where those packages/that package file should be? Perhaps try a cabal
install --global haskell-src-exts and see if that makes a difference, or
attach --user to a configure command.
