<p class=MsoNormal>I'm trying to get the PADS file we were working on compiling

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
I believe I am using the most recent version of cabal:<br>
