Has anyone gotten Buddha (now called "plargleflarp" http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha/) do work with GHC 6.4? I'm getting
ghc-6.4: unknown package: buddha
Jim P.S. What happened to the old name?
Hi Jim, Unfortunately I haven't had time to get buddha working with GHC 6.4. If you really need it I can have a look into it later this week (let me know how urgent it is). Otherwise it is best to stick with the previous stable release of GHC for the moment. Plargleflarp is a decoy. I started getting complaints about the name when the program was noticed by someone on a linux mailing list. The complaints have come from buddhists who don't like the use of the word. To stop the complaints I renamed every occurrence of buddha to plargleflarp on the webpage. So what will happen in the long term? As yet I don't know. I might rename the program when version 2.0 comes out, I might not. If you have any opinion then please let me know. Cheers, Bernie.
