[Haskell-cafe] Re: HS-Plugins 1.0 chokes on simple test, WinXP GHC-6.6

[Conal Elliott]

I'm running cygwin on WinXP and got a different failure (below) from the
latest darcs hs-plugins.  Line 11 is right after the TOP definition.  Does
anyone have a theory about what's going on here? - Conal

configure:1954: gcc    conftest.c  >&5

conftest.c:14: error: missing terminating " character
