ghc-6.2 compilation problems

2003-12-19 Thread Duncan Coutts
I'm getting problems building ghc 6.2. It fails building the documentation (which I didn't really want anyway). I'm using the gentoo ebuild script. I've got haddock 0.6 installed. (That was my first error!) I'm hoping someone might know what is going wrong here. I'll report back to the gentoo ghc

GHC and UNICODE...

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid it's left me even more confused about which way to go with this :-( If it's possible that future Haskell FFI's don't guarantee that all finalisers are run then this more or less rules out the use of the reference counting solution (which wasn't particularly attrac

This discussion is getting a little out of hand ;-) An instance of Show should (but doessn't have to): - generate a rendering of its argument as a String that (a) follows the Haskell lexical syntax, and (b) with an appropriate instance of Read can reconstruct the ori
