[Haskell-cafe] what appears to be a persistent problem for me ..

Hello,

       I seem to have recovered from my Ubuntu problems by installing the
ghc binary from http://www.haskell.org. However, if I modify a .cabal file,
e.g. unix.cabal, then "runhaskell Setup.hs build" is always in the
"re-configure" state even if I do a "runhaskell Setup.hs configure" ... It
seems the re-configure state is determined by:

-- |Check that localBuildInfoFile is up-to-date with respect to the
-- .cabal file.
checkPersistBuildConfig :: FilePath -> IO ()
checkPersistBuildConfig pkg_descr_file = do
  t0 <- getModificationTime pkg_descr_file
  t1 <- getModificationTime localBuildInfoFile
  when (t0 > t1) $
    die (pkg_descr_file ++ " has been changed, please re-configure.")

in /ghc-6.8.2/libraries/Cabal/Distribution/Simple. ??


Kind regards, Vasili
