Hi Clemens, In GHC 6.6.1, dropDrive is not available, it will only be the next release. Thanks Neil On 8/24/07, Clemens Fruhwirth wrote:

What would be a more appropriate variable to check? __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ only includes the major and minor number but not the patch level. We could change the check to default to the compat version for the whole GHC 6.6.x series (which wouldn't hurt that much as dropDrive isn't that huge) -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org

What you did was correct: __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ is 606 for all the 6.6.x releases, none of which have dropDrive. The define doesn't distinguish patch levels, because they are guaranteed to have the same API.
