Here is another pre-release fixing some issues that came up after the 0.7.0. the fixes are:

 * documentation clean ups  * add writeFile and appendFile to the libraries  * Fix C prototypes when foreign exporting/importing pointers  * add containers and applicative to dist tarball  * add System.Environment  * fill out System.Directory and some more System.IO routines  * have the renamer check module exports for correctness

This gives me a 404: http://repetae.net/dist/jhc-0.7.1.tar.gz

Fixed, thanks! John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈ - http://notanumber.net/

Hi John,

I just did a basic (and first-time-ever) install on my Macbook. It's working just fine on a small test program I tried.

The only hitch in the install was getting the readline library set up correctly. Cabal has some problems finding the right native library. I found a solution in this message: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-May/011597.html That shows how to direct cabal to pick up a find/macports version of the readline library.

It might be worth mentioning that somewhere in the docs.

Thanks for the report. I'd actually like to remove readline as a dependency at some point, it is only used by jhci which is more of a debugging tool for jhc developers than anything. Though, now that Mark has shown dynamic linking to work, perhaps it would be possible to turn it into a real command line interface like ghci...
