[Haskell] Re: Getting a function dependency graph from source

[Durward McDonell]

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted!  Thanks, and thanks for writing
it all in the first place. :-)

However, I haven't quite been able to get it to work fully.  I did
get it installed and running, after I took the advice about using
the latest versions and just installing the binaries.  I even got
pfe to add all my files and all the relevant ghc-6.4.2 libraries
and Prelude.  However, "pfe chase" only worked on my files, and
not on, say, /usr/local/src/ghc-6.4.2/libraries/base/parsec.  I
had to add all the ghc files one at a time.  Also, now that pfe
is satisfied that it needs no more modules, if I run "pfe deps",
for example, it complains that I have many undefined export
entries.  All of the functions listed are Prelude functions.
I have the "prelude" option set to True.  It seems like I'm very
close.  What am I doing wrong?

Here's the output of "pfe options", fwiw:

Flags {prel = True, plogic = True, cpp = Just "/lib/cpp -traditional -P
-D__HASKELL98__ -D__PFE__
-I/usr/local/src/ghc-6.4.2/libraries/base/include"}

Thanks again.
