One of GHC's infelicities is that it only supports tuples up to a certain size -- currently 62. You just can't get bigger tuples. Your program uses a 73-tuple. My guess is that your code is generated by some other program that's generating big tuples? The only workaround is to nest your tuples.

The code is hand-written and the maximum tuple-size used is 4. It works fine in Hugs. It uses the Parsec library (not the version in GHC's text package, but from a local copy. The ParsecPrim.hs was replaced by the version from Parsec's web-site -- it works as I expected, but not the one

Hello, I am experimenting with GHC to write low level code (e.g., device drivers, interrupt handlers). The ultimate goal is to write a prototype operating system in Haskell, using the GHC RTS as a kind of microkernel (this appears to be relatively easy by removing all the dependencies on an

The ultimate goal is to write a prototype operating system in Haskell, using the GHC RTS as a kind of microkernel As a useful stepping stone towards that goal, you might look at Utah's OSKit: http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/ It gives you a bunch of useful bits like bootloaders, device
