To configure and install DrIFT from the source tarball
./configure --prefix=<dir>
make install
Where <dir> is the directory in which you want to install the tool. Note that
a haskell compiler (nhc98 or ghc) must be in your path. Otherwise, supply the
location of a Haskell compiler as follows:
./configure --prefix=<dir> --with-hc=<haskell compiler>
make install
If you have pulled the source from the darcs repository, you must first build
the autotools scripts by running
autoreconf -i

You may optionally sset DERIVEPATH to the list of directories you wish to search for
modules.
as an example:
DERIVEPATH=/users/grad/nww/share/hugs/lib:/users/grad/nww/share/hugs/lib/hugs
to run DrIFT, simply pass the haskell file name as an argument. you may run
DrIFT --help to get a summary of the various command line options
