You try to compare Dir and Piece values without having told Haskell
how the comparison should work. Haskell doesn't provide a default
comparison funcition even for the really obvious cases like this,
unless you tell it to using the "deriving" keyword:
data Bool = False | True deriving (Eq,Ord,Show,Read)
In your case, all you need is Eq, so you can skip the parentheses.
