[Haskell-cafe] HSFFIG compilation problem

[Harri Kiiskinen]

Hello,

I've tried to compile hsffig-1.0pl2, unsuccesfully, also from the
unstable darcs repo. I'm using ghc-6.8 (ghc6-6.8.2 from Debian
unstable). HSFFIG comes with its own version of Cabal, but I cannot get
past the configuration phase (./cabal-setup configure), when I get the
following output:

Configuring HSFFIG-1.0...

configure: Dependency base-any: using base-3.0.1.0

Does anyone have an idea, how the dependency 'text-any' could be
satisfied?
