D'oh, I should've seen that.

That's not good. And it doesn't seem to do that here:

$ cabal install xmobar --dry-run
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following would be installed (use -v for more details):
stm-2.2.0.1
syb-0.3
X11-1.5.0.0
utf8-string-0.3.6
xmobar-0.12

What does

$ cabal install xmobar --dry-run -v3 say for you about directory?

That was built with the compiler (I built from source), no problems.

$ haddock --version
Haddock version 2.9.2, (c) Simon Marlow 2006
Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008

The same as

I don't know if that's been solved.
