Consider the case where a user reports a strange bug that none of us can reproduce. After weeks of discussion, it finally is discovered that zlib 0.5.0 was installed on that user's system, so cabal silently picked -f-zlib. That user was using the internal zlib instead of libHSzlib. This actually happened to me -- if I hadn't bothered to configure --verbose and check the flags, I would be running the internal zlib right now and not even know it. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
