cabal install llvm-base fails on arch

cabal install llvm-base fails with the error on arch linux

bits/extra.cpp:390:15: error: ‘class llvm::SMDiagnostic’ has no member named ‘Print’

on changing the error.Print on line 390 to error.print build succeeds

This fix was necessary on my system as well. Arch is on LLVM 3.1; perhaps that's the cause?

The error was occurring with sys-devel/llvm-3.1-r2 and dev-haskell/llvm-base-3.0.1.0 on Gentoo. Since I don't know which llvm version have print or Print I grep'd in the header file to check

    grep -q "void print" /usr/include/llvm/Support/SourceMgr.h
    if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then
        sed -e 's/error.Print/error.print/' \
            -i "${S}/cbits/extra.cpp" || die "Could not change Print to print"
    fi

I'm getting this on OS X 10.6.8. LLVM 3.1. The 3.0 docs say that version also uses print rather than Print though.

Weirdly, even after downloading the repo and changing line 390 accordingly, it still wants to use the old one. Like it's cached the old version one somewhere.

@tcsavage, do this to install llvm-base:
cd base
autoconf
cabal install
