Description (last modified by simonpj) (diff)

When compiling one of my own libraries I received this compiler message: 

ghc-6.8.3: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.8.3 for i386-unknown-linux):
        tcIfaceGlobal (local): not found:
    main:Session.:CoF:R26Dependencies{tc rdk}

This almost always means that you have out of date .hi files. We have an open ticket #2648 on making this error message more robust and informative.

Can you remove every .hi file and try again? If that fixes it, close the ticket as a duplicate; if not, we'd better investigate further. Thanks very much.

Removing the .hi files fixed it. Thanks!
