drvfail011.hs:8:1: No instance for (Eq a) arising from a use of ‘==’ Possible fix: add (Eq a) to the context of the instance declaration In the expression: ((a1 == b1)) In an equation for ‘==’: (==) (T1 a1) (T1 b1) = ((a1 == b1)) When typechecking the code for ‘==’ in a derived instance for ‘Eq (T a)’: To see the code I am typechecking, use -ddump-deriv In the instance declaration for ‘Eq (T a)’
