Installing syb(-0.1.03) package in head version of Haskell

Thu Feb 11 17:28:20 EST 2010

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a program that uses the Data.Generics module to compile under the head version of GHC, but I am having trouble getting the syb package installed.  

I believe I am using the most recent version of cabal:

> kfisher-laptop:/Users/kfisher/pads/dirpads/language-c-quote>~/.cabal/bin/cabal --version
> cabal-install version 0.8.0
> using version 1.8.0.1 of the Cabal library 

When I ask cabal to install the syb package, I get the following error:

> kfisher-laptop:/Users/kfisher/pads/dirpads/language-c-quote>~/.cabal/bin/cabal install -w ~/sw/ghc-head/bin/ghc
> Resolving dependencies...
> Downloading mtl-1.1.0.2...
> Configuring mtl-1.1.0.2...
> Preprocessing library mtl-1.1.0.2...
> ...
> Registering syb-0.1.0.3...
> cabal: ghc-pkg: <stdin>: hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid UTF-8 byte
> sequence)
> cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
> language-c-quote-0.1 depends on syb-0.1.0.3 which failed to install.
> syb-0.1.0.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
> exit: ExitFailure 1

The full trace is included below.

Here's the version information for the ghc I am running.

> Kfisher-laptop:/Users/kfisher/pads/dirpads/language-c-quote>~/sw/ghc-head/bin/ghc --version
> The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.13.20100210

The cabal website suggests sending questions to this list...

Any suggestions for how to fix this problem?
