Hi Thomas,
Looks pretty good. I've interspersed a few comments below.

The above looks fine, except that generally the recommendation is to
use the text package [1] for dealing with text, whereas ByteString is
for binary data that you wish to manipulate as a sequence of bytes.
You can get away with the above only when the text consists entirely
of ASCII characters.

What happens when the line is empty?

The above lambda can also be written as ((==) `on` fst). 'on' can be
imported from Data.Function.

Instead of using (fst x) and (snd x), you should pattern-match on x,
like
summation ((x,y):xs) = (x, y + ...)
> formatter :: (String, Int) -> String
> formatter = (\w -> (fst w ++ "\t" ++ show (snd w)))
The same goes here. I would also put the w argument on the left-hand
side of the =, like
formatter (s,i) = s ++ "\t" ++ show i

Instead of using a chain of ($), it's generally considered better
style to use a chain of (.) with a single $ at the end, like
putStr . unlines . map formatter ... lines . C.unpack $ contents

Greetings,
I'm trying to recompile & reinstall the haskell platform 12.2.0.0. I
have installed it successfully on a prior occasion but I decided to
reinstall as I think I may have messed up my installed packages a bit
while playing around with yesod. I intend to use cabal-dev or
virtualenv for that in future.
So I thought I'd do a clean install. I blew away my haskell platform
and ghc, both of which were installed in a dir under my home dir. I
also blew away my ~/.cabal/ dir.
I then reinstalled by ghc 7.4.1 into ~/prg/haskell-platform-12.2.0.0.
I then unpacked the sources of haskell-platform-12.2.0.0 and
configured it with the prefix set to where ghc is.
configure finished without error so I ran 'make'. It quits with what
follows. How do I fix this??
With thanks,
Jeff
