Just tried the code
shuffle :: Int -> [a] -> [a]
shuffle i [] = []
shuffle i cards = [(cards!!i) : shuffle (fst pair) (delete (cards!!i)
    cards)]
        where pair = randomR (0, 51) (mkStdGen 42)

and I get:

Could not deduce (Eq a) from the context ()
      arising from a use of `delete' at Cards.hs:(23,51)-(24,8)
    Possible fix:
      add (Eq a) to the context of the type signature for `shuffle'
    In the second argument of `shuffle', namely
        `(delete (cards !! i) cards)'
    In the second argument of `(:)', namely
        `shuffle (fst pair) (delete (cards !! i) cards)'
    In the expression:
          (cards !! i) : shuffle (fst pair) (delete (cards !! i) cards)
Failed, modules loaded: none.


Any ideas?
