BTW, to get hs-plugins to build, I changed two lines in
hs-plugins/configure.

First, in the line

TOP=`echo "Directory.getCurrentDirectory >>= putStrLn.init.tail.show " | ghc
--interactive -ignore-dot-ghci -v0`


I changed "putStrLn" to "putStr".  Second, I changed the line

GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir`


to

GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir | tr -d [:space:]`


First I tried tr -d '\n', but it didn't work, and I don't know why.

I got hs-plugins to compile fine on  winxp, but now when I run it I get a
crash with this message:

c:/ghc/ghc-6.6/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_free'

Don mentioned this is a known problem.  Is it on anyone's todo list?

Cheers, - Conal
