how about bundlng it with up-to-date GHC 6.6 build (which've fixes a lot of problems) or, better, allow to use it with user-installed ghc 6.6.* installation? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

It is already bundled with slightly newer version of GHC-6.6. There
was a bug that had to be fixed in order to have working Visual
Haskell. Visual Haskell is dependent of GHC API and you can't simply
use it with different GHC version.

i mean newr 6.6.* versions, what fixed also other errors, not only VH-related. if my project needs, for example, GC bugfix, i can't use VH because this error was fixed only a few weeks ago -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

You can replace just libHSrts.a in your Visual Haskell directory and
it should work. I will release a new VSHaskell after GHC-6.6.1
release. If the .hi format is still the same in the last GHC-6.6
revision then you should safely replace everything.

afaik, GHC developers ensure that this format doesn't change during 6.6.* lifetime and about waiting 6.6.1 - some of us more rely on snapshots, it's impossible to wait new ghc release just to have my problems fixed :) so, if it possible to have instructions for using VH with newer 6.6 releases - it will be really great -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
