When pulling from the repo you need DrIFT installed, the tarballs don't need it though. I can make that message more informative... The development.html page is only updated on a release from docs/development.mkd, It would probably make more sense to have it track the repository version rather than the current release. I'll see about adding a cron job to fix that up. I have a fix for the third issue done. will post it soon, in the meantime you can find the call to qualifyInstMethod in src/FrontEnd/Rename.hs and just replace it and the hsDecls processing for HsInstDecl with
hsDecls' <- rename hsDecls
to just do a full renaming of the declarations.

Hi all,
I am happy to announce that we are almost upon the 0.8.0 release of jhc, which has quite a few changes from the past so I was hoping I could get some people to help test the newest darcs tree and give feedback.
So, I just pulled down a clean copy of the repo and tried to build it. So far I've run into the following build issues:
* autoconf correctly identified that DrIFT wasn't installed, but then make ended up trying to call DrIFT anyways.
* some package named HsSyck is specified when trying to compile jhc, though that's not listed in the required tools http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/development.shtml and isn't checked for during autoconf.
* During `make libs` I get the following errors:
...
