That is I get no crashes in ghci. I do appear to have some line-feed problems. So if I type: Prelude> let x = 10 It appears to do nothing, but that is not the case - I can then overtype with :t x and ghci responds with: x :: Integerxx = 10 Prelude> So maybe this is a readline/haskelline issue? I then tried a cabal install of my website application. This fails, but I think it is because I need to apply various patches to haskelldb modules that are not yet in hackage. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
