Interesting. Why "super-annoying"?
Because I have to find and copy many files and then set up the library path env vars when distributing. Especially since the average Haskell project relies on *many* libraries, this gets crazy fast. Distributing to sane systems like Debian (where I could just set dependencies) would be fine, but for, say, blackberry app dev or windows or mac, it just gets in the way. In fact, the static haskell librarie, dynamic C libraries approach GHC took was a major selling point when my company was choosing what platform to target for our blackberry development. -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See http://singpolyma.net for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph
