Hi Tom,
my 2 cents here:
it looks like you had an old version of GHC and now, it's a new!

Most likely you wanted to import System.IO

Generally (my fellow haskeller may correct me) I think that's better to put
the class constraint on the methods rather than on the type declaration.
So it becomes:
data Automaton n v = Automaton {
nameSet :: Set.Set n,
valueSet :: Set.Set v
} deriving (Show, Eq, Ord)
createAutomaton :: (Show n, Show v, Ord n, Ord v) => n -> v -> Automaton n v
createAutomaton n v = Automaton (singleton n) (singleton v)
Best,
Corentin
