---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 After a fresh install of 2009.2.0.1-beta1 package for OS X on a 1.5.7
 system (Leopard), I tried to use cabal-install to install several packages
 with profiling information. The packages depending on libraries included
 in the platform, but not included with GHC, failed:

       Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package
 `mtl-1.1.0.2'?

 }}}

 The dependencies of lazysmallcheck are all included in the GHC installer
 package. Some of the dependencies of harpy, however, are in the platform
 installer package. It appears that the packages included as part of the
 GHC installer package have good profiling information, while the packages
 included in the platform installer package do not.

 If I reinstall mtl and parsec (harpy's other platform dependency) as user
 packages, with profiling information, then harpy builds correctly.

 The strange thing is, there '''are''' profiling libraries for mtl and
 parsec included in the platform. They just don't seem to be usable?
