hello, i am using ghc-2.01 on alpha-dec-osf4.0 and i486-unknown-linux. the parser complains about files whose very last line contains a comment-to-end-of-line but where there's no closing end-of-line character. (this works with 0.29) example: joe@iaxp11:~/analyze/rx$ echo -n "main = print [1 .. 10] --" > Foo.hs joe@iaxp11:~/analyze/rx$ ghc-2.01 -dshow-passes -c Foo.hs *** Reader: "Foo.hs", line 1, column 26: parse error on input: <EOF> the ghc's i'm using were bootstrapped with ghc-0.29, and i applied the patch that makes -prof -auto-all work, but i guess that's irrelevant here. oh, and somewhere in the documentation there should be a warning not to use `notElem' from the ghc-2.01 prelude :-) of course i can simply fix this and recompile the prelude but that would make programs non-protable because it might force others to recompile the prelude as well, and they might not want to do this. by the way - as i'm too lazy to upgrade my linux from aout to elf format, i rather bootstrapped ghc-0.26 -> 0.29 -> 2.01 which took some days (for my machine, a 486 DX 50 with 16 MB RAM only) but it went on fine and without any major intervention except that i had to toggle some -O(not) -Hsomething flags. greetings, -- Johannes Waldmann Institut für Informatik FSU D-07740 Jena Germany http://www5.informatik.uni-jena.de/~joe/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "... oder wie lautet denn der Titel Ihrer Dissertation?" - "Ich schreibe ueber `Besonderheiten von Stil und Rhythmik weiblicher Prosa des spaeten Chejan, dargestellt an Makurano-Soshi'", sagte Pfeffer.
