Re: [Haskell-cafe] hoogle command line program on Linux

Hi Erik, Hoogle 4.1.3 is now released, which reads and writes Hoogle input files in UTF8 throughout. Please let me know if this doesn't fix your problem. Thanks, Neil On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 11:22 AM, Neil Mitchell wrote:

Hi all,

I'm testing out hoogle 4.1.2 on Debian Linux and getting the following when trying to update the local hoogle databases:

   erik > sudo hoogle data    Starting default    Starting keyword    hoogle: keyword.txt: commitAndReleaseBuffer: invalid argument    (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)

My LANG related envorinment variables are set as follows:

   erik > env | grep LANG    LANG=en_AU.UTF-8    GDM_LANG=en_AU.UTF-8    LANGUAGE=en_AU.UTF-8    LC_LANG=en_AU.UTF-8

When faced with a similar problem while working on Ben Lippmeier's compiler, I fixed this by replacing all instances of readFile with readUtf8File which is defined as:

   readUtf8File :: FilePath -> IO String    readUtf8File filePath     = do   h <- openFile filePath ReadMode            hSetEncoding h utf8            hSetEncoding stdout utf8            hGetContents h

Is it possible to fix this without hacking the hoogles sources? I'd like to package hoogle for Debian, but first I need to get it working.
