[Haskell-cafe] hs-plugins compile error

[John O'Donnell]

Thanks, Edsko.

My version of gcc is 4.3.0.  It may well be that some other piece of
software in the Fedora 9 distribution is incompatible with the hs-plugins
installation script.

Has anyone installed hs-plugins on Fedora?  I was able to get it to
compile on Fedora 4, using ghc-6.4, two or three years ago, but it's never
worked on any of my systems since then.

John

It's working fine for me (after applying the patch I submitted), on
Debian Lenny (which currently comes with ghc 6.8.2, gcc 4.2.4) and the
source from Hackage. Source from the darcs repository also works fine
(after applying the same patch).

I *am* getting an application crash sometimes when I close my
application, but I have not yet been able to track that down so I'm not
100% sure it's due to hs-plugins.
