You need { } around the declaration of matrix1. Otherwise the semicolon at the end of its definition is considered to be part of the 'let': let { matrix1 = (array ((1,1),(3,3)) [((1,1), 0.0), ((1,2), 0.0), ((1,3),-2.0), ((2,1), 0.0), ((2,2), 7.0), ((2,3), 0.0), ((3,1), 0), ((3,2), 0), ((3,3), -3)])} ; The layout rule will otherwise add { } as follows: do { let x = 10 ; putStr "hello" ; } --> do { let { x = 10 ; <empty decl> } putStr "hello" ; } which is wrong, because there is no semicolon separating the 'let'-declaration from the 'putStr' expression. A solution is to use layout instead of { ; } or write semicolons in front of declarations: do { let x = 10 ; putStr "hello" } This translates into: do { let { x = 10 } ; putStr "hello" } The semicolon is not part of the 'let' declaration, because it is indented less than 'x' . For more information, see: http://haskell.org/onlinereport/syntax-iso.html#layout Hope this helps, Arthur On 17-mrt-05, at 20:42, Dmitri Pissarenko wrote:
Hello!
In the attachment you will find a file, in which I try to access Java from Haskell using the Java bridge for functional languages.
For details see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jvm-bridge/
and
http://dapissarenko.com/resources/2005_02_17_eigenvaluesJava/ 2005_02_17_eigenva luesJava.pdf
When I try to compile the attached file using
ghc +RTS -c -RTS -package javavm -c EigenvalueCalculatorHaskell.hs -o EigenvalueCalculatorHaskell.o
I get the error
EigenvalueCalculatorHaskell.hs:28: parse error on input `putStrLn'
Unfortunately, I have not the slightest idea about how to fix/isolate it (I already commented out almost the whole code).
Please tell me what I could try to correct the error. I appreciate ANY hint.
Many thanks in advance
Dmitri Pissarenko
