RE: Bug in compiling large projects ?

I've not had time to look at this yet.  It does seem odd.
I'll get to it. Meanwhile, it's not a show-stopper for you, is it?

| Hello,
| 
| I have send a message to these lists a weak ago with almost the same
| topic, but I have now additional observations: The problem is not
| related to option -O in GHC 6.2.1 ! We use in conjunction these command
| line switches for the compilation:
|   --make -fglasgow-exts -fallow-overlapping-instances
|   -fallow-undecidable-instances
| 
| and get this error message, when we try to compile the complete project:
| 
| Compiling Common.Lib.Rel   ( ./Common/Lib/Rel.hs, ./Common/Lib/Rel.o )
| 
| ./Common/Lib/Rel.hs:102:
|     Could not unambiguously deduce (Show (a, a))
|       from the context (Show (Rel a), Show a, Ord a)
|       arising from use of `show' at ./Common/Lib/Rel.hs:102
|     The choice of (overlapping) instance declaration
|       depends on the instantiation of `a'
|     Probable fix:
|       Add (Show (a, a)) to the class or instance method `show'
|       Or add an instance declaration for (Show (a, a))
|     In the first argument of `(.)', namely `show'
|     In the definition of `show':
|       show = show . (Common.Lib.Set.fromList . toList)
|     In the definition for method `show'
| 
| When we issue the same ghc call again, Common/Lib/Rel is compiled
| without errors.
| Well, the needed tar-ball (4.2M) to reproduce the error is downloadable
