ghcWithPackages should work fine with all versions of GHC newer than
6.10.4. My ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix configuration looks like this:

    let
      haskellEnv = haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
        # Haskell Platform
        async attoparsec caseInsensitive cgi fgl GLUT GLURaw haskellSrc
        hashable html HTTP HUnit mtl network OpenGL OpenGLRaw parallel
        parsec QuickCheck random regexBase regexCompat regexPosix split stm
        syb text transformers unorderedContainers vector xhtml zlib
        cabalInstall_1_18_0_2 alex /*haddock*/ happy primitive
        # other packages

      ];
    in
    {
      packageOverrides = pkgs:
      {
        ghcDevEnv = pkgs.haskellPackages_ghc763_profiling.ghcWithPackages haskellEnv;
      };
    }

What kind of problems have you been running into?

Take care,
Peter
