ghc-6.8.0.20071013-src.tar.bz2 (October 13) is buggy, it cannot build the DoCon test module, starts to `panic'.
Now, I shall try http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.0.20070914-src.tar.bz2 On the other hand, whatever GHC version the developers would like to test, they can easily take the public docon-2.10 and follow install.txt. The only two small points for porting from ghc-6.6.1 to 6.8* are * replacing runhaskell with runghc in source/Makefile, * adding ``, containers'' to the line of build-depends in source/docon.cabal. ----------- Mechveliani On Mon, Oct 15, 2007 at 04:47:09PM +0100, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote: > I'd go for 20070914 > http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.0.20070914-src.tar.bz2 > > S > > | -----Original Message----- > | From: Serge D.
