ignore-errors is void?

ignore-errors is void?

[Bastian Webster]

I came into work today with Emacs complaining on start up:

Symbol's function definition is void: ignore-errors.

I am using Emacs 22.2.1 with haskell-mode 2.4.

Here is the output from --debug-init:
  (ignore-errors (with-temp-buffer (call-process "ghc" nil t nil "--
print-libdir") (expand-file-name
"package.conf" ...)))
  eval((ignore-errors (with-temp-buffer (call-process "ghc" nil t nil
"--print-libdir") (expand-file-name "package.conf" ...))))
  custom-initialize-reset(haskell-package-conf-file (ignore-errors
(with-temp-buffer (call-process "ghc" nil t nil "--print-libdir")
(expand-file-name "p$
  custom-declare-variable(haskell-package-conf-file (ignore-errors
(with-temp-buffer (call-process "ghc" nil t nil "--print-libdir")
(expand-file-name "p$
  require(inf-haskell)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/bastian/.emacs" nil t)  ;

I don't understand a lick of it, and any help would be appreciated.

Launch your Emacs with -q (do not load user init file), open then  
~/.emacs in some buffer, and type:

	M-x goto-char RET 2047 RET

and you'll be in some proximity to the cause of the error. The error  
can come from an opening "(" 123 lines above ...

`ignore-errors' isn't defined by default. You can load it by (require 'cl)

Also, the bug has been fixed in the haskell-mode's CVS

    2007-12-12  Stefan Monnier  <...>

         * inf-haskell.el (haskell-package-conf-file): Don't use
           `ignore-errors' because this form is not byte-compiled :-(.

    2007-12-11  Stefan Monnier  <...>

         * Release version 2.4.

It sounds like haskell-mode might be forgetting to...
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

It seems the problem has occurred because I ran 'make' and byte-compiled 
the files.  If I delete all of the .elc files, then everything runs as 
it should.  I don't understand, and I guess I can live with it, but I 
would like to know *why*.
