Comment(by batterseapower):

 OK, now I'm not sure if this is in fact a GHC bug as well, because I tried
 to work around with:

 {{{
 ./Setup build
 touch dist/build/HShighlighting-kate-0.2.8.1.o
 sudo ./Setup install
 }}}

 But if I try and use GHCi it dies:

 {{{
 *Main> :m Text.Highlighting.Kate.Syntax
 Prelude Text.Highlighting.Kate.Syntax> languages
 Loading package array-0.3.0.2 ... linking ... done.
 Loading package containers-0.4.0.0 ... linking ... done.

 Loading package highlighting-kate-0.2.8.1 ... <interactive>: mmap 0 bytes

 }}}

 (This is with GHC 7.0.1.20101215)

 Is this expected behaviour?
