Building haddock when accessing data files from package code

[Hugo Pacheco]

I don't know if I got the ideia.I have always built before and always got
the error:
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs build
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock
..
Setup.lhs: can't find source for module Paths_module

Thanks,
hugo
