To reproduce: 1) Look for "data IO" on Hoogle, e.g. http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.0/Prelude.html#... 2) Click "source", which redirects to http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.0/src/GHC-Types... 3) Observe a "Not Found" page Is there anyone interested in fixing this? Bye, Lenny

So, the problem is that there are broken links _in Hoogle_; have you thought about contacting the author Neil Mitchell directly? "haskell@kudling.de" writes:

No, hoogle just sends you to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.1/Prelude.h... , which does exist. It's the 'Source' link in the haddocks that sends you to the 404 Not Found. It's the same with my local docs, I think it's haddock that got confused by the move of the IO definition from base to ghc-prim.

Yeah, as I've said I mis-read the initial problem (I've fielded a few queries recently regarding Hoogle not pointing to the 6.12.2 docs and initially thought this was another one). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Hi, I have recently updated Hoogle so it points at specific documentation. If anyone finds any further bugs, please let me know. I'm hoping to go through Hoogle and revise much of it in the near future, and intend to put things in place to stop this happening again (and keep it up to date).
