[Haskell-cafe] Re: Bring down the house (was Re: GHC cannot compile my code)

I further narrowed it down to that first line. I also commented out all the Typeables and commented out the derivation of Tables entirely.

newtype Tables = Tables [TableInfo] -- deriving (Show, Typeable)

It does not compile without -fglasgow-exts but does compile using it. I then tried to add the following derivation instance Show Tables where show (Tables (x:xs)) = show' x ++ show' xs where show' [] = "" show' (x:xs) = show' x ++ show xs and ghc started exploding again. All the types in TableInfo are derived from Show. Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/
