The problem here is that Haddock doesn't build with Cabal-1.8. Thus, a slight patch (or sed magic) is needed for Haddock's .cabal file to restrict the upper bound of the version of Cabal used. The same applies for haddock-2.4.1.

Created attachment 222117 [details] Alternate setup file
The attached setup.hs fixes the issue here.
Also, you could try haddock-2.5.0 instead, if you're using >=ghc-6.10.2.
I have the same problem here. Where is haddock-2.5.0? root@orca:/root(5)# emerge -pvD haddock These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/haddock-2.4.2 USE="doc" 0 kB
root@orca:/root(6)# emerge -pvD ghc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] dev-lang/ghc-6.10.4-r1 USE="bash-completion doc -binary -ghcbootstrap" 0 kB
Oh, it's only in the overlay at the moment. We should look into putting it into the portage tree too.
Any chance that this could indeed go into the tree ?
Almost two weeks later, there is no haddock-2.5.0 in the portage tree.
(In reply to comment #10) > Almost two weeks later, there is no haddock-2.5.0 in the portage tree. > Well, there's 2.6.0 ... What's likely going to happen in the next few weeks is that the packages required for the latest release of the Haskell Platform (which just came out last week, and is based around GHC 6.12.1) are going to be added to the tree and unmasked. As such, making sure these ebuilds work are our prime focus at the moment.

The CLDouble bug for ghc 6.12.1 have not been fixed in it so many important software won't work. I'm not quite sure if it qualifies for unmasking.

In 6.12.1 they've just removed it rather than having something that's wrong in there.
The obvious quick workaround was to temporarily downgrade your cabal to 1.6, build haddock and then upgrade cabal. I've modified the Setup.hs in haddock 2.4.2 to work with both cabal-1.6 and cabal-1.8. haddock 2.4.1 will continue to require cabal-1.6. Adding haddock-2.5.0 would also solve this problem, but would in return give other problems. All packages you have built with your old haddock would have to be recompiled to make the docs link together. You can't do this for the packages provided with GHC, so those would not be referenced, like the base package and everything else part of GHC. The result is a broken environment and a reduced user experience. Things are not always as easy as they seem. As Ivan says, our main focus at the moment is to support the latest haskell platform. The latest release of the haskell platform is no more a beta release than the last version was. CLDouble has never worked, no software that worked will suddenly stop working. If the patch I changed doesn't work, please reopen the bug.
