[Haskell-cafe] type variable in class instance

[Corentin Dupont]

Hi Stephen,
I wasn't aware of Data.Dynamic.
I tried:

*viewEvent :: Dynamic -> IO ()
viewEvent event = do
   case fromDynamic event of
        Nothing -> return ()
        Just (Message s) -> putStrLn $ show s*

But still got the same error (Ambiguous type variable `t0' in the
constraint:  (Typeable t0) arising from a use of `fromDynamic')...

Best,
Corentin
