Hello, I installed (succesfully) HAskell Platform 2010.2 on windows and have a small but annoying issue: Some links in HTML documentation lead to broken links. I did not investigate all the links, but I have seen that all doc under Control.Monad.XXX is missing. What am I doing wrong ?
Almost every release of GHC that I can remember has had the links for the "mtl" package broken. (The Control.Monad.XXX modules are mostly from mtl. But, for example, Control.Monad.Fix is from base. I bet you'll find it works just fine.)
Well spotted, Andrew!
The way to get things like this fixed is to report a bug to the relevant project. Click on the 'bug report' button:
http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/
You installed the Haskell Platform on Windows, so please mention this in the bug ticket. The problem will likely be in the Windows installer script, and what docs were bundled with that specific installer.
Probably not. I'm on Linux and build my GHCs from source. There's no directory mtl-1.1.0.2 in ~/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries although it's linked to from the package index built with the compiler. (Hadn't noticed before because I use the index in ~/.cabal). Seems to be a slip-up in the makefiles.
Be as detailed in the report as you can, to make sure we can reproduce what trouble you have.
In the meantime, you can always read the 'mtl' documentation on its package page:
