I had assumed that it connected to a server.
It did at one point, but Hoogle had downtime and the local hoogle command was just as good and worked offline.
(Maybe my assumption was not entirely unfounded, given that the installation instructions for lambdabot blithely state that you "just cabal install lambdabot", nowhere suggesting that you might need to *manually* install some of its dependencies.)
Well, does every lambdabot user want mueval and hoogle installed? In those specific cases because they export libraries as well, I could add a dependency on the library; but cabal doesn't support dependencies for pure executable packages.
Once I have the hoogle command line version working, it seems that lambdabot truncates its output to just the first 3 lines. Is this normal? Is there a way of customizing or changing this behaviour?
It's normal, yeah. Don't want to spam #haskell with 100 lines of useless matches. Configurable? Not really. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
