[Haskell-cafe] ghc package problem

[Phyx]

Hi all,

I was finally able to solve this by deleting the user package.conf.d completely. I think there was some problem with the package.cache file, It must have gotten corrupted somehow.

Cheers,
Phyx

Stupid question: are you trying to build this package/use ghci as the same user that has haskell-src-exts installed as a user?
