Thanks. It looks more human :-)

Well, my aspirations for autotools are just to be 'literate' enough to
put together a simple stuff (like I did for ephemeris library :-)

And probably I'd need them when making Haskell bindings for it, true?

More than that - rather no.

The m4 was one of the reasons I escaped into qmail territory :-)

How do you like Cabal?

I'm sure it's more human than autotools ;)

Fow writing gtk2hs apps, I'll definitely (try to) use Cabal, but for
those bindings for C-libs..

It was in some thread (Which FPL) in comp.lang.functional.

I did and it compiles now.

I tried your patch for ghc-6.4 but it didn't apply, so I checkout code
from CVS, but it looks it is not compilable?

Now, I patched the original 0.9.7-tarball by hand and will try to
compile it after ghc finishes.

Sincerely,
Gour
