As from my previous mail to haskell-cafe I'm trying to get started working with a few haskell tools. I'm now trying to get hat to build, but hitting a problem while compiling.
The problems you are encountering with building Hat are largely due to the newer version of ghc (6.0) you are using. ghc-6.0 has some API changes in its Exception library. I have a workaround, but it turns out that fixing this one problem reveals several more issues with ghc-6.0, such as its stricter interpretation of some of the lexical rules of Haskell'98. I do hope to find workarounds for all of the ghc-6.0 compatibility issues, but in the meantime, you may make better progress if you use an earlier stable release of ghc such as 5.04.3 on MacOS X (assuming such a beast exists).
