[Haskell-beginners] Data-List-Utils

[CEO'Riley]

Hi David,

Thanks for responding.  I'm out here at the hackage.haskell.org site and
performed the search.  I guess my first question here would be "what is
missing"?  Does this mean something is missing?  I see it for a lot of the
components (functions) of Data.List.Utils.



Regards,

Data.List.Utils is part of the missingh library.  If your app can't find it,
it is probably not installed.  cabal install missingh.

To find out where a random import comes from, go to hackage.haskell.org,
click on hayoo, and search for "Data.List.Utils".

The ambiguous module name is totally different and doesn't happen very often
anymore.  Monads-fd used to be an improved version of mtl, and it exported
roughly the same interface, but monads-fd is now deprecated and shouldn't be
used.  Sometimes when you load a file it ends up choosing it anyways,
because it has to choose something.  You can avoid that by typing  ghci
-hide-package=monads-fd.  Alternatively you can use ghc-pkg hide to hide it
permanently, so that nothing tries to use that, that should work.
