[clean-list] Newbie error

[panitz]

looks like a simple indentation error you made:

the following will do (not tested):

instance toString Q
 where
  toString q
   | q.den==1 = toString q.num
   | otherwise = toString q.num +++ "/" +++ toString q.den


As far as I know the guards of a function definition have to be
more indented than the function name in the function definition.
