the deleting .ghc/ solves that problem, but another problem i've had is that when trying to build gtk2hs, I'm unable to find the package.conf file that apparently needs to be modfied, and only a package.conf.d folder.... are these somehow the same thing or where is it hidden/what am i overlooking?<div>

If you want to wipe everything and start afresh, then delete the ~/.ghc<br>
