Re: UTF-8 decoding error

with ghc-6.5.20060201 I get a "UTF-8 decoding error" for latin1 characters in my string literals.

Do I have to change my sources or can I set a certain environment variable?

I have LANG=de_DE@euro and LC_CTYPE not set (which is ok for hugs)

GHC is now expected source files to be UTF-8 only. I really did this as an experiment to see if anyone complained, because it will be more work to implement other encodings. You're the second person to notice this. So - do you need Latin-1, or could you use UTF-8? If you're using emacs, it's pretty easy to default to UTF-8 for haskell source files, BTW. Just add this to your .emacs: (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.l?hs\\'" 'utf-8) Cheers, Simon
