[Yhc] Compiling Yhc - n00b having trouble

[Ashley Moran]

Hi

I am just starting to learn Haskell (and FP in general).  I've printed  
a copy of Yet Another Haskell Tutorial[1], and I wanted to work  
through it simultaneously using Ghc and Yhc.  I've done this so far:

% darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/yhc
% scons

But I get this error:

> darcs get --partial --repo-name=depends/cpphs http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/yhc/dependencies/cpphs
>
> darcs failed:  Failed to download URL http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/yhc/dependencies/cpphs/_darcs/patches/20051220141353-ff520-d48804240ec68476275dfaa298201210361fcaee.gz 
> : HTTP response code said error

Running scons again give the following output:

Can anyone help me get Yhc building?

Thanks
