Hi guys, 


i have some troubles to install hxt.


My first naive attempt "cabal install hxt" fails with
"cabal: cannot configure hxt-8.5.0. It requires base >=4.2 && <5".


I guess that's because i use ghc 6.10.4, since
"base-4.2.0.0" depends on "integer-simple" which seems to only come with ghc
6.12.


I then tried to install hxt-8.3.2, which seems to be the last version supporting
ghc 6.10.4.
If fails with:


"

src/Text/XML/HXT/Parser/TagSoup.hs:292:8:
    Not in scope: `optLookupEntity'
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
hxt-8.3.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
"


I have no idea, what that means. What am i doing wrong?


Thanks,
Lenny
