Which versions of base have you tested it with? :-)

Whichever one GHC 6.10.3 ships with...

"ghc-pkg list base" will tell you which version you have installed.

Which tells me I have base-3.0.3.1 *and* base-4.1.0.0 ;-)

Frankly, I highly doubt it makes any difference either way. (Does anybody know how base3 differs from base4?) It only uses a few type classes from the Prelude...

If it *only* uses the prelude (i.e., does not include *any* modules), then it should work with any version of base.

Yeah, that's what I figured... Alrighty then, so how I just do Setup configure, and now Setup sdist, and then I can upload the result to Ha-- oh, don't be silly. That would simply be too easy. ;-) E:\Haskell\AOC-HalfInteger>runhaskell Setup sdist Building source dist for AOC-HalfInteger-1.0... Preprocessing library AOC-HalfInteger-1.0... Setup: tar is required but it could not be found. Time to go search the web and find out what the other 50 people who stumbled into this did... *sigh*
