I hope this is the correct place to ask this.
I've been playing with Haskell for a few months (I'm a long time
imperative programmer with a couple years of Scheme)
and *still* feel like a complete newbie. It seems like there's
always something new to wrap my head around (one
could argue this makes it fun .. ?). Java never twisted
my brain :-)
I eventually want to write a simulator for an alternate computer
architecture in Haskell. . I played around with arrows and managed to
understand the Arrow SF versions fibonacci and factorial and get them
running.
It appears reactive may be more appropriate.
I was running ghc 6.8.3 and upgraded to 6.10.1 as it seemed
that it would be more 'reactive' friendly.
Platform is x86_64 GNU/Linux.
All seemed to go smoothly but I can't install reactive 0.10.5.
Details of the problem are given below.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Tom
