I can't get this import to work in haskell.

import Network.HTTP.Conduit

When I try to compile I get the following error:

$ ghc Play.hs

Play.hs:1:8:
    Could not find module `Network.HTTP.Conduit'
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

The same error occurs if I try to load the file in GHCI.

I have installed the latest version of http-conduit via cabal. Here is the output from cabal:

$ cabal -list http-conduit
* http-conduit
    Synopsis: HTTP client package with conduit interface and HTTPS support.
    Default available version: 1.8.2

If it might make a difference, I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

Any ideas why this won't import?

Edit: Output from 'ghc-pkg list':

Just to be sure: Your GHC version is 7.x.y? If it's 6.x.y, you'd need the --make flag, but I don't think 12.04 comes with a ghc-6.*, does it? – Soekarno
I am using version 7.4.1. That is the version that is installed on apt-get install ghc. – Shalon
Okay, so it's not that. What's the output of ghc-pkg list http-conduit? – Soekarno
Ah, this seems promissing. I updated the original post with the output – Shalon
Hm, you have two exemplars each of derive-2.5.11 and peakachu-0.3.0, that shouldn't be. I expect one in the global db and one in the user db for each. What happens if you try ghc-pkg unregister peakachu-0.3.0 --user (similar for derive-2.5.11)? Does it warn that that would break umpteen other packages? – Soekarno
Unregistered without a problem. The output from 'ghc-pkg list http-conduit' does not give a warning any longer. However, this did not fix the problem. – Shalon
Any further output from ghc-pkg check? – Soekarno
ghc-pkg check outputs a bunch of missing documentation files. If I grep for http-conduit, it shows there is missing documentation. I've added it to the original message. – Shalon
Missing docs shouldn't matter for compilation. ghc-pkg list says you have http-conduit, but when you try to use it, ghc can't find the modules, right? Try compiling with an explicit flag, ghc -package http-conduit Play.hs or --make. And perhaps also use -v to make ghc chatty. – Soekarno
When compiling and specifying -package http-conduit, it does appear to be missing some dependencies for both versions of http-conduit. I've added the output above. – Shalon
What does ghc-pkg say about the listed packages? – Soekarno
I've posted the output from both cabal list and ghc-pkg list in the original message. I appear to have all of the dependencies. – Shalon
let us continue this discussion in chat – Soekarno

I was unable to fix the problem directly. But, I was able to "nuke" the installed packages and start fresh.

rm -rf ~/.ghc/i386-linux-7.4.1
cabal install http-conduit

After this, it worked fine. You will have to re-install all of your other packages as well.

I would recommend learning about cabal sandboxes coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html - since using them I rarely have to resort to nuking my .ghc directory anymore. – Handley

FWIW I used "cabal install http-conduit" then I got the following prompt:

Building     http-conduit-2.3.8 (lib)
Installing   http-conduit-2.3.8 (lib)
Completed    http-conduit-2.3.8 (lib)
Warning:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: Installation might not be completed as desired! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Without flags, the command "cabal install" doesn't expose libraries in a
usable manner. You might have wanted to run "cabal install --lib http-conduit".

Then I tried loading my file and got this in ghc:

Prelude> :l Main.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Main.hs, interpreted )

Main.hs:9:1: error:
    Could not load module ‘Network.HTTP.Conduit’
    It is a member of the hidden package ‘http-conduit-2.3.8’.
    You can run ‘:set -package http-conduit’ to expose it.
    (Note: this unloads all the modules in the current scope.)
    Use -v (or `:set -v` in ghci) to see a list of the files searched for.
  |
9 | import Network.HTTP.Conduit (simpleHttp)
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Failed, no modules loaded.

So "cabal install --lib http-conduit" fixes this.
