"Purescript without Node" - purescript-prelude compilation error about documentation

[hdgarrood]

You are correct, your version of psc is out of date and most likely that's what's causing the problem. Please install the compiler via one of the methods listed at http://www.purescript.org/download/ to ensure you get an up-to-date version. How did you install the compiler, incidentally?

Also the guide is specifying old library versions: v0.1.0. The libraries are currently on 2.x.x

@hdgarrood I'm using NixOS (unstable), so I installed the purescript haskell package.

The NixOS haskell package set is automatically generated from hackage. It's strange, because on hackage purescript is version 0.10.3 but in the NixOS package set the version is 0.9.3 (even though the set was updated 16 hours ago).

Anyway, I will get the latest version and try again. Thanks for the help!

[hdgarrood]

Ah, right. AFAIK NixOS follows Stackage LTS, which is a continuously updated series of sets of Haskell packages which are known to build together and therefore does not always have the latest versions of everything. At the moment, the version of PureScript in there is indeed 0.9.3 so I think that would explain it.
