Thanks for the patch, Tom! :) So, is the `accelerate` package still the preferred approach to access a GPU from within a Haskell program, or has it been superseded by something else? Thanks, -db

It has restrictive bounds on `base` (which secretly means ghc). You can try `--allow-newer` to see if it works with newer versions.

I just picked up a copy of “Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell”. And I’m trying to follow the instructions on p.4 for getting the examples installed, but having trouble: [...]

Oh woe, this package is sorely out of date. Sadly --allow-newer is too loose. There are compile failures. Applying the patch below will get a lot of it working with GHCs up to 9.2, although things that rely on Network won't work (there is no longer a top-level Network module).

repa doesn't seem to work with any later GHC, but the bits that don't depend on repa can probably be brought up to date with later GHCs.

Anyway, it's rather a mess. Sorry about that. Hope you can get at least some use out of the below patch.
