[Haskell-cafe] holumbus error message -- unexpected package db stack

[Roderick Ford]

Ok, figured it out, based on your link, Jonathan, I thought of just running:
make clean
./Setup configure
./Setup build
./Setup install
WHICH of course imports Distribution.Simple, whereas calling "make blah" on the Makefile will not do the import of Distribution.Simple 

Anyway, THANKS for the link ... it DID help :)

Cheers,
Roderick Ford
