Upon a fresh install of the haskell-platform (via homebrew
) (GHC x64 7.6.3
) on OSX 10.9.2
I receive the following warnings when I run ghc-pkg check
(see below)
Warning: haddock-interfaces: /Users/user/.cabal/share/doc/x86_64-osx-ghc-7.6.3/ghc-mod-3.1.7/html/ghc-mod.haddock doesn't exist or isn't a file

Per the docs:
ghc-pkg check
Check the consistency of package depenencies and list broken packages.
Accepts the --simple-output flag.
I attempt to run the following command to generate haddock documentation to no avail:
sudo cabal install --reinstall --force-reinstalls --enable-documentation
The command was from a similar question a user had on the haskell mailing list. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2012-February/021780.html
How do I appease ghc-pkg check
and remove these warnings?
CAVEAT: When I say "fresh install" I mean I have installed the Haskell-platform from scratch, and installed globally cabal-1.18.0.3
and added cabal's bin directory to my path.
Those haddock warnings are annoying, but they don't cause any problems, AFAIK. I think the warnings were fixed in Cabal 1.18. I don't see them any more.
EDIT: OK, so we need to follow kosmikus's suggestion...
mv ~/.cabal ~/.cabal.SAVE
cabal update
This will create the file ~/.cabal/config. You can edit this file if you wish.
Now try building something and see if the problem is gone.
