[Haskell-cafe] cabal install glade

[Paul Samways]

Hi Jean,

How did you install ghc? It looks (and this is coming from someone
relatively new to Haskell) that you've installed GHC 7.10 which the Glade
package isn't compatible with yet. I'm assuming this based on the ambiguous
occurrence of 'die' which was a new function added to System.Exit in
base-4.8 (GHC 7.10).

You could try rolling back to GHC 7.8 or clone the Glade package and fix
the imports.

Cheers,
Paul.
