[Haskell-cafe] MonadPlus instance for IO

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but somehow ghc isn't recognizing the existance of a MonadPlus instance for IO: DarcsIO.lhs:48: No instance for (MonadPlus IO) arising from use of `mplus' at DarcsIO.lhs:48 In the definition of `foo': foo = (fail "aaack") `mplus` (fail "foobar") Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm using $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.2.2 packaged for debian. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
