[Haskell-cafe] Re: was Re: ANN: HSH 1.2.0

actually, maybe I'm more okay than I thought.

I originally did this without reading the INSTALL file, and built
using the process I have gotten used to: runghc Setup.hs configure;
runghc Setup.hs build; runghc Setup.hs install.

But when I followed the directions in the INSTALL file ...

  make setup

Now:

 ./setup configure
 ./setup build
 ./setup install

... it seemed to work without that error message.

So far so good!

I was also able to do

thartman at linodehaskell:~/haskellinstalls/hsh> ghci HSH
   ___         ___ _
  / _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)
 / /_\// /_/ / /  | |      GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98.

\____/\/ /_/\____/|_|      Type :? for help.

Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Ok, modules loaded: HSH, HSH.Command, HSH.ShellEquivs.
Prelude HSH>

however, when I tried copying a simple example from

  http://changelog.complete.org/posts/492-Announcing-HSH,-the-Haskell-Shell.html

I got errors

So, that's where I'm at now.
