Ah. That explains it. I'd been annoyed for some time now that hs-plugins was broken for so long with 6.8.x, but I had been pulling from <http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/hs-plugins>. It's probably worth noting that the first Google hit for 'hs-plugins' is Don's pages, and that points to the old Darcs repo, <http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/hs-plugins/hs-plugins-Z-H-1.html#node_sec_1> ("Darcs repository of the latest code: darcs get --set-scripts-executable http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/hs-plugins";). The second and third hits links to that page as well. Maybe the docs could be upgraded and the usual deprecation warning inserted in the old repo? -- gwern GSM Submarine E. 510 ddnp building y friends RDI JCET
