I'm trying to test TclHaskell under Hugs98-Nov2003, compiled from source. My current problem with getting it to work seems to be a failure to load the function intToWord32. Well, here is a partial transcript of a session run from within the TclHaskell src directory (after compiling TclPrim.so): ------------- bash-2.05b$ hugs __ __ __ __ ____ ___ _________________________________________ || || || || || || ||__ Hugs 98: Based on the Haskell 98 standard ||___|| ||__|| ||__|| __|| Copyright (c) 1994-2003 ||---|| ___|| World Wide Web: http://haskell.org/hugs || || Report bugs to: hugs-bugs@haskell.org || || Version: November 2003 _________________________________________ Haskell 98 mode: Restart with command line option -98 to enable extensions Type :? for help Prelude> :load "../demo/Demo.hs" ERROR "./TclPrim.hs":49 - Undefined variable "intToWord32" Word> :names Hugs.Array.!

[snipped the rest] ---------------------- So ':names' thinks there is such a thing, but the loader doesn't? I see that intToWord32 is declared with the keyword "primitive" -- i.e., specifically, from Word.hs in the library: primitive intToWord32 "intToWord32" :: Int -> Word32 I'm having trouble finding this syntax in the documentation, but, as I recall -- perhaps incorrectly -- I ran across some gopher documentation that indicated that the "intToWord32" in quotation marks was supposed to be the file name where the foreign primitive could be found. Using "locate" I can't find any files by the name of "intToWord32" in my system. Perhaps this is the Undefined variable in question. Finally, I'm running on a Linux system, Slackware 9, 400Mhz pentium II, 128 mb memory. Any advice or references to documentation will be appreciated. (By the way -- I decided to try TclHaskell because it seemed to be the simplest way to get a graphical interface to an application going! Any advice here will be appreciated as well.)
