Hi all,
I've just received the following error message:
headers.hs:6:7:
Could not find module `Control.Monad.Identity':
it was found in multiple packages: transformers-0.1.4.0 mtl-1.1.0.2
I'm trying to use the Iteratee module which depends on Transformers
but I use MTL in other stuff.
Whats the preferred solution here?
Erik
Hi,
alternative to ghc-pkg:
{-# LANGUAGE -XPackageImports #-}
module Blub where
import mtl Control.Monad.State

Re: [Haskell-cafe] MTL vs Transformers?
Ugh, I'm not as sure about that... it took me long enough just to figure out ghc-pkg hide transformers! :-) Are running into problems because you need to refer to both packages (e.g., mtl and transformers) within your code, or because you are using packages that refer to each? Because as long as you only need to refer to one of them in your own code, GHC should be able to handle the dependencies for the other packages correctly. (Hiding the package only removes it from being automatically imported by your own code, it doesn't prevent it from being used by other packages that link to it.)

The later. Iteratee uses Transformers and just about everything else I want to use uses MTL.

(Hiding the package only removes it from being automatically imported by your own code, it doesn't prevent it from being used by other packages that link to it.) That all seems a little hackish.
