HXT/Practical/Weather.hs difficulties

4 Nov 2008

      Hello all,

I'm working through the practical HXT examples and have gotten stumped
with the weather example[1]. I'm using GHC 6.8.3 and HXT 8.1.0. I
compile the example like so...
...
blt@doritos:~
$ ghc --make weather.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( weather.hs, weather.o )
Linking weather ...
And execute it...
...
blt@doritos:~
$ ./weather
error: ""<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0/..."" (line 1, column 16):
unexpected "P"
expecting white space, "[" or ">"
Unable to parse weather data.
Woops. Would someone be so kind as to explain why this is failing? I'm
at rather a loss.

P.S. Is this question better suited to the haskell-beginner list?
