Notice the flag defaults to False, not True. When I tried it with True, I got:

$ cabal install Resolving dependencies... cabal: dependencies conflict: base-3.0.3.2 requires syb ==0.1.0.2 however syb-0.1.0.2 was excluded because syb-0.3 was selected instead syb-0.1.0.2 was excluded because show-0.4.1 requires syb ==0.3.*

Suprising. It certainly seems to contradict my understanding of how Cabal works (which is derived from http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/users-guide/authors.ht...)

Anyway, I'm glad that you have recorded a patch which at least gives GHC 7 a chance of working. If I knew where the repo was I would try it out (it doesn't seem to be linked anywhere from http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/show/0.4.1/show.cabal).

It's just a folder in the lambdabot repo, as is lambdabot-utils and unlambda and brainfuck. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
