Re: Can't build nofib

From the error message it looks like you’re using ghc-9.6(and base 4.18) while nofib requires base < 4.17. I’d say as a temporary workaround you can likely run your invocation additionally with —allow-newer, and hope that doesn’t break. Otherwise you could downgrade to 9.4 or bump the version manually in the cabal file of nofib? Rodrigo

Friends

With a clean HEAD I can't build nofib. See below. What should I do?

Thanks
