Using Parsec with Yesod: cabal dependencies error

Question

I want to use Parsec in a Yesod project but get a cabal error.

Here is what i added to my code:

import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec

Got this error:

Could not find module `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec'

So i added 'parsec' to my .cabal file and finally got this error:

cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
trying: Blackbox-0.0.0 (user goal)
trying: parsec-3.1.3/installed-6a5... (dependency of Blackbox-0.0.0)

(conflict: warp => network==2.3.0.11/installed-b9c...)

Any ideas what is going wrong here?

edit: It is a fresh Yesod install (including cabal update) and it worked before adding anything parsec related.

Answer 1

rm -Rf ~/.cabal && rm -Rf ~/.ghc

and reinstalling everything solved the problem.

I really wish i understood what's going on with installing haskell packages though...
