Thanks, Edsko. My version of gcc is 4.3.0. It may well be that some other piece of software in the Fedora 9 distribution is incompatible with the hs-plugins installation script.
Has anyone installed hs-plugins on Fedora? I was able to get it to compile on Fedora 4, using ghc-6.4, two or three years ago, but it's never worked on any of my systems since then.

It's working fine for me (after applying the patch I submitted), on Debian Lenny (which currently comes with ghc 6.8.2, gcc 4.2.4) and the source from Hackage. Source from the darcs repository also works fine (after applying the same patch). I *am* getting an application crash sometimes when I close my application, but I have not yet been able to track that down so I'm not 100% sure it's due to hs-plugins. Edsko
