Hello,
I installed (succesfully) HAskell Platform 2010.2 on windows and have
a small but annoying issue: Some links in HTML documentation lead to
broken links. I did not investigate all the links, but I have seen
that all doc under Control.Monad.XXX is missing. What am I doing wrong ?
Almost every release of GHC that I can remember has had the links for
the "mtl" package broken. (The Control.Monad.XXX modules are mostly from
mtl. But, for example, Control.Monad.Fix is from base. I bet you'll find
it works just fine.)
Today I went and did a thorough check. HP 2009.2.x.x (I forget exactly
which one) has links that point to
C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2009.2.x.x\doc\ghc-mtl-x.x.x
which does not exist. There is, however, a folder named
C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2009.2.x.x\doc\mtl-x.x.x
which exists just fine, and appears to contain the correct stuff.
In HP 2010.1.0.0 and 2010.2.0.0, the links point to the latter address,
but no such folder actually exists. The mtl documentation appears to
simply be missing entirely, rather than being in a different place than
where the links point to. Various older releases of GHC (before HP
existed) have had one problem or the other, always with mtl, never with
any other package.
I have absolutely no idea why mtl is always broken, but all the other
packages seem to work just fine. The fact that it happens so routinely
suggests a problem with the build process rather than a one-off mistake.
