Actually... looks like you're right. I can't build it either, he appears to have hard-coded some paths in and it appears that you need some kind of magic to register a program as a build tool (that's what the error is from: hasktags isn't a registered build-tool). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic [email protected] IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
