Re: [Haskell-cafe] Hint causes GHCi linker error under Windows

Hi Daniel, Do you have a complete example one can use to reproduce this behavior? (preferably a short one! :P) With this code I could reproduce it in ghci. runInterpreter $ loadModules [(SomeModule.hs, Nothing)] Currently I am not on a Windows machine, so I can't tell you if this only

All, I've tried building 1324 out of the ~1700 packages from hackage using ghc-6.10.4 and ghc-6.12.0. This is the subset of packages that I could build in one go. Compared to the subset that I could build with ghc-6.10.4, I had to chuck out 125 packages because their build dependency constraints

I have been using GHC 6.12.1 from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-pre/ (which doesn't exist any more). Do I need to upgrade, or is it exactly the same? Do I need to recompile packages? -- Robin ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list

I've the 6.10.4 version installed on my MacOS X 10.6 OS. Have I to uninstall this version of GHC before installing the Mac .pkg for the 6.12.1? Most installer packages (_except_ for MacOS) allow you to have multiple previous versions of ghc - they are simply left in place (but must now

Luca, to use Control.Parallel, you need to download and install two packages, deepseq and parallel, from hackage.haskell.org. Most likely this will work with cabal, or you just download the two tarballs . The reason is, when packaging parallel, this package has been removed from the GHC

Hi, Simon - I just added support to Data.Text for your new Unicode-based Handle implementation, and I'd like to write some tests. The natural way to do this would be to create Handles that will write to, and read from, ByteStrings. Does any such code exist at the moment? I don't see it in base or
