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

[Conal Elliott]

BTW, to get hs-plugins to build, I changed two lines in
hs-plugins/configure.

First, in the line

TOP=`echo "Directory.getCurrentDirectory >>= putStrLn.init.tail.show " | ghc
> --interactive -ignore-dot-ghci -v0`
>

I changed "putStrLn" to "putStr".  Second, I changed the line

GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir`


to

GHC_LIB_PATH=`$GHC --print-libdir | tr -d [:space:]`
>

First I tried tr -d '\n', but it didn't work, and I don't know why.
