Would it be possible to put up a list of versions of the software you are using on your development environment? (at least the minimum tested version) I guess it shouldn't matter to most users who are going to rely on packagers to sort these dependancy issues, but it's nice to know. Anyway, the tests build now, and they seem to fail on my (rather messy) install of haskell platform + ghc 6.12 on osx 10.6.6.

make: *** [test] Error 1
I assumed that since the tests built, then running them shouldn't be a problem. It looks like some argument isn't being passed about for the location of the .t directory that gets created. I will check the dependancies on my system again. """]]
