I suppose in contrast to the version from HackageDB, which I got myself on monday, the darcs version works with ghc >= 6.6, or I probably would have heard about it. So I'll try to get me that, only where?
I'd already tried that, but $ darcs get --partial http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins/ Invalid repository: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins darcs failed: failed to fetch: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins/_darcs/inventory ExitFailure 1 Is my darcs too old (version 1.0.5) or is the repo actually broken?
AFAIUI, version 1.0 will work with ghc6.6 on non-Windows platforms. It's been broken on Windows for some time, and I don't really know why. As you seem to be on Linux, this shouldn't affect you.

Well, again, the .tar.gz from HackageDB is tagged 1.0, it definitely doesn't work with ghc-6.6.1 on my linux. And it apparently was packed in February, so it shouldn't be too out of date. Let me summarize my findings so you guys have something to reason from. 1) if I compile the module and execute the binary, I get $ PlugTest PlugTest: /tmp/MKtHcN2822.o: unknown symbol `pluginszm1zi0_AltDataziDynamic_toDyn_closure' PlugTest: user error (resolvedObjs failed.) 2) If I load the compiled code into ghci, load cannot ever find the symbol resource, originally that is because it looks for main_resource_closure instead of ModuleName_resource_closure. Now I changed the code in System.Plugins.Load, so that load does look for the correct symbol, with baffling results. In compiled code, all loads still fail. If I load interpreted code into ghci, the first load succeeds, hooray! But all subsequent loads fail, until I :reload (sometimes) or :load PlugTest (that always worked so far). How come? When I added debugging output, I could see that it looked for the correct symbols in the correct .o files, but only the first found the symbol. Very peculiar. Could somebody please enlighten me? Thanks, Daniel
