I eventually persuaded Plugin.Pl.Transform.hs to compile by disabling the optimisation, and with other bits of hackery got lambdabot to build.
When I run it as lambdabot I get Initialising plugins..... (with lots of '.'s, presumably one '.' per plugin) and then the command prompt returns. There is no sign of a lambdabot running.
Any idea where I can start to diagnose what's going wrong?

As a result of my recentish code cleanups, everything lambdabot does, even the main command loop, is a @-command. If you just run it as 'lambdabot', you give it zero commands, so it loads all plugins, executes zero commands, and quits. I suppose I could make the command loop the default, but that is just too ugly since as it stands the core doesn't know the command loop even exists. You want 'lambdabot -e offline' or 'lambdabot -e "rc online.rc"'. Note that none of this applies if you are using the tarball. Stefan
