[Haskell-cafe] [ghci] unknown symbol in base-unicode-symbols-0.2.1.2 ...

[John Obbele]

Hi everyone !

I'm having a problem in GHCi when loading modules relying on the
base-unicode-symbols package. My prompt gives me the following
message:


>> ghci $
GHCi, version 7.0.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

ghc: unable to load package `base-unicode-symbols-0.2.1.2'

I thought this was due to me screwing around cabal/ghc-pkg caches
but after a fresh install of Fedora15-alpha / cabal update /
cabal install usb I'm still getting the same error.

Moreover, a quick `nm HSbase-unicode-symbols-*.o | grep
ControlziCategoryziUnicode` give me the following output.


>> nm HSbase-unicode-symbols-0.2.1.2.o | grep -C 4 'ControlziCategoryziUnicode_'

Could someone please explain to me what's happening ?
