What can we do > about this bootstrapping problem? Uh, AFAIC, it's only a documentation bug - the GHC page seems to say that GHC comes with HP, the HP page tells to go get GHC first. I'd just change it to something like: GHC: Click here to download... then go see Haskell Platform for the standard set of libraries. HP: Go to GHC HQ and get GHC, then make sure to come back here for the libraries. (Assuming I understand how this is set up - I usually just get stuff from my distribution, and didn't come around to installing the HP) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
