Syntastic error with haskell

Question

Error detected while processing /home/kyle/.vim/ftplugin/haskell_doc.vim:

This is an error I recive when running vim. I am trying to get syntastic to work with haskell. Here is the .vimrc file

"use ghc functionality for haskell files
au Bufenter *.hs compiler ghc 

" switch on syntax highlighting
syntax on

" side numbers 
set nu

let g:ghc = "/usr/bin/ghc"

execute pathogen#infect()

let g:haddock_docdir = "/usr/share/doc/ghc6-doc/html/"
" enable filetype detection, plus loading of filetype plugins
filetype plugin on
let g:haddock_browser = "/usr/bin/firefox"

Try cleaning out your .vim/ directory so it only has these files:

.vim/
├── autoload/
│   └── pathogen.vim
│
├── bundle/
    ├── syntastic/
        ├── CONTRIBUTING.md
        ├── LICENCE
        ├── README.markdown
            ...other syntastic files...

That is, you only have .vim/autoload/pathogen.vim and the files in .vim/bundle/syntastic/.

It looks like you have something in .vim/ftplugin which is causing problems.

Syntastic works for me on Haskell files with only these two lines in my .vimrc:

execute pathogen#infect()
syntax on

Note: You need to have ghc-mod installed.
