OK. Again, not sure what going on here. Pattern looks OK to me.

Michael

=============================

import Control.Monad.State
import Data.Map

type Prefix = (String,String)
type GeneratorState = State ((Map Prefix [String]),Prefix,[String])


non_word = "\n"

f key new old = new ++ old 

buildMap :: GeneratorState (Map Prefix [String])
buildMap = do (mp,(pfx1,pfx2),all@(w1:words)) <- get
              if (Prelude.null all)
                then  {- No more words. Return final map (adding non_word for prefix). -}
                  return (insertWithKey' f (pfx1,pfx2) [non_word] mp)
                else do {- Add word to map at prefix. Continue. -}
                  put (insertWithKey' f (pfx1,pfx2) [w1] mp, (pfx2,w1), words)
                  buildMap

=============================

*Main> :r
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( markov3.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> fst $ runState buildMap (singleton ("\n","\n") [], ("\n","\n"), ["I","am","lost."])

Ok, I see I left out the "State" word.

Should be:
type GeneratorState = State (Map Prefix [String],Prefix,[String])

Thanks,

Michael

You are trying to use a type alias (GeneratorState) as a type constructor.

There may be other problems, but that leaps out.
