I am trying to resurrect the yarr package (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yarr). Thanks to all the very helpful folk in the Haskell community it now compiles under 7.8.3 and the tests run apart from
~/Dropbox/Private/yarr/tests $ ./canny 1 50 100 tree.png luminosity 8.41 ms, 5.33 tics per index canny: Oops! Entered absent arg $dVector1{v a6vi} [lid] Vector{tc rrL} (VecList{tc rrR} (S{tc ruZ} Z{tc ruI})) (VecList{tc rrR} (S{tc ruZ} (S{tc ruZ} (S{tc ruZ} (S{tc ruZ} (S{tc ruZ} Z{tc ruI}))))) (Word{(w) tc 32R} -> Word{(w) tc 32R} -> IO{tc 32I} Word{(w) tc 32R})) canny: thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation
Now according to the notes left by the original developer, this used to work under ghc 7.6.1. What is this message telling me? Let me know if I should provide more information. Many thanks Dominic Steinitz dominic@steinitz.org http://idontgetoutmuch.wordpress.com
