Dear all, I have two questions, related to packages. 1) What is the relationship between the new and cool hierarchical module structure and packages? Packages used to be a way of avoiding name clashes on module level, but that role has been taken over by the new module system. Several sub-questions: - I can add my own packages, can I add my own modules to the hierarchy? - Can the package system be complete taken over by the module system? I.e. relating certain .a, .so, .dll files and compiler flags with certain parts of the module hierarchy? 2) I am trying to install my own package. I do not have write access to GHC's package.conf. So, I make my own. But:

[cth/Yahu] -: more yahu.conf [Package {name = "yahu", import_dirs = ["/users/cs/koen/Code/Ghc/Yahu"], source_dirs = [], library_dirs = ["/users/cs/koen/Code/Ghc/Yahu"], hs_libraries = [], extra_libraries = [], include_dirs = [], c_includes = [], package_deps = [], extra_ghc_opts = [], extra_cc_opts = [], extra_ld_opts = ["-lyahu"], framework_dirs = [], extra_frameworks = []}] [cth/Yahu] -: ghc --package-conf yahu.conf -package yahu --make Test ghc-5.04: unknown package name: yahu <<<

What is going on? Thanks, /Koen. -- Koen Claessen http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~koen Chalmers University, Gothenburg, Sweden.
