-- Yi
that's the error message I got following the instructions on http://www.nobugs.org/developer/yi/building.html
setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
fingertree -any
make: *** [dist/setup-config] Error 1
Where can I get fingertree from? Do I need a specific version of this package?
-- Data.ByteString
Where can I read more about GHC options like -XOverloadedStrings or this ":: ByteString" type declaration?
I did not know ByteString was less performant than a linked list of characters. It is used even in the language shootout benchmark programs.

Why would you need such a thing? ByteStrings don't have any unicode
support, and they can be quite slow for small strings. They are just a
different tool for different task.
But if you wish, you could use string literals as bytestrings with
-XOverloadedStrings ghc (>=6.8
) flag
