Re: Problems using/installing plugin example

Trying the same on a completely
different machine (7.4.2) just works, so it appears to be an
account/machine/version problem. I didn't see anything on the
release notes for 7.4.2 that looks relevant, so I'll be guessing
an account/machine issue.

How can GHC be reporting that CSE.Pass imports CSE.Plugin when it
doesn't?

What are the account specific variables that might cause

CSE/Plugin.hs:6:8:

Could not find module `GhcPlugins'

It is a member of the hidden package `ghc-7.4.1'.

Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

to appear? (since that appears to be the first deviation from
normal behavior)

I know of the --user package database, I'll try to clear that and
retry.

Module imports form a cycle:

module `CSE.Pass' (./CSE/Pass.lhs)

imports `CSE.Plugin' (./CSE/Plugin.hs)

which imports `CSE.Pass' (./CSE/Pass.lhs)

0 $

I don't see that CSE.Pass imports CSE.Plugin anywhere...

I note that I needed to pass "-package ghc" to ghc, which the
guide [3] does not mention.

[3] http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/users_guide/compiler-plugins.html

The --reinstall is because I installed it from source first.

Ideas what is wrong?
