Currently, the haskell fuse binding is not compiling when installing it using cabal.

The error message which is reported by $ cabal install hfuse is:

System/Fuse.hsc:73:40:
      Module `System.IO.Error' does not export `catch'

The reason is that catch was moved from System.IO.Error to Control.Exception.

Here is a patch for that (based on the one from Colin Watson):

Just download the above patch save it into a file named hfuse-catch.patch and run the following:

$ git clone git@github.com:realdesktop/hfuse.git
$ cd hfuse
$ git apply hfuse-catch.patch
$ cabal configure && cabal build && cabal install
