1 Code Indentation:

Haskell code should be indented using the <haskell> tag:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:Syntax_highlighting

This also allows for proper cut and paste properties.

2 Problems

When I try to compile, or load into ghci, the following code I get get this error: 

   cd-fit.hs:8:13:
   No instance for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s m Char)
     arising from a use of `many' at cd-fit.hs:8:13-27
   Possible fix:
     add an instance declaration for (Text.Parsec.Prim.Stream s m Char)
   In a stmt of a 'do' expression: dirs <- many dirAndSize
   In the expression:
       do dirs <- many dirAndSize
          eof
          return dirs
   In the definition of `parseInput':
       parseInput = do dirs <- many dirAndSize
                       eof
                       return dirs
   Failed, modules loaded: none.

And I panic.

Code: 

module Main where
 
import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec
 
data Dir = Dir Int String deriving Show
 
parseInput = 
  do dirs <- many dirAndSize
     eof
     return dirs
 
dirAndSize = 
  do size <- many1 digit
     spaces
     dir_name <- anyChar `manyTill` newline
     return (Dir (read size) dir_name)
 
main = do input <- getContents
          putStrLn $ "DEBUG: got input " ++ input
          -- compute solution and print it
