Hi Mark,

Thanks once again for your excellent answer.

OK, I see that in show.cabal, ShowIO disappears from the exposed- 
modules section. This is confirmed by the fact that Show.hs has  
disappeared from the source. The contents of the latter were just a  
single instance declaration which now appears in ShowFun.hs.

 From all this I infer that lambdabot uses show, and in the process  
wants to import ShowIO: Such imports are indeed found in State/L.hs  
and State/Pristine.hs. Given that everything that used to live in  
ShowIO has been swallowed by ShowFun, we could just import ShowFun at  
those to place instead.

With you so far ..

Huh?

is ~/.<packagename>/ some sort of cabal convention? Or are you using  
it as a shorthand for ~/.cabal/packages/<yaddayadda>/<packagename> ?  
Or is it some way in which you *could* organize your Cabal packages  
which happens to be different from what I have on my systems (by  
default)?

Ah, it is nothing to do with cabal, it's just lambdabot's personal  
data! (Which needs to have State/L.hs in it. It seems to work without  
Pristine.hs. Fine, at this stage I'm just prepared to accept this  
directory as magic).

I seem to have a working lambabot check. (i.e. 'lambdabot> check True'  
claims to pass 100 tests.)

Thank you.
