[Haskell-cafe] Actually loading a Cabal package in GHCi

[Stephen Tetley]

Hi Ketil

Particularly to Haskore rather than package importing or Cabal in
general, AbsPitch is not defined in "Haskore" i.e. Henning
Thielemann's extended Haskore.

AbsPitch in Paul Hudak's Haskore (i.e. "haskore-vintage"), it is a
synonym for Int, I believe the replacement is Henning's Haskore is
Absolute. From what I can gather, the original poster is using Haskore
from Hackage (so they have Henning's version) but is trying to work
with an old library HasChorus (installed from a source tar ball that
is not on Hackage). HasChorus doesn't have a cabal file to distinguish
dependencies, but it is written for Paul Hudak's original Haskore -
i.e. "haskore-vintage".


The docs on Hackage show that Henning's Haskore doesn't export AbsPitch:
