bzlib-0.5.0.2 suffers from the exact same problem. I send a bug report to the author a few days ago, but I can imagine he's very busy. It might help if we can send patches that fix the compile error. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list

[Haskell-cafe] The State of Testing?

I've been picking up Haskell as a side project for the last few months, and I'm now considering publishing some useful code I've written and reused in several small projects. So far I've done relatively little with testing (these have been non-mission-critical applications) but I feel I should get

Thank you. The document does say it more clearly than me. But still, currently, ghc only gives me one option: cannot be built. How about giving me another one: throw away the version information of D when building A. So when A uses types in D with B and C, it might work. Just the risk is on me
