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 for the quick response. That definitely has fixed thet problem. The next problem is that hoogle installed as a Debian package would install as root as /usr/bin/hoogle. Then, when I run "hoogle data" it wants to install the database at /usr/share/hoogle/hoogle-4.1.3/databases which fails because I'm not running as root. So, to install the databases I need to run "sudo hoogle data" (which is acceptable), but then an unprivelidge user can't run hoogle because they don't have read permission on the database. The solution would be to set the umask before writing the databases. Something like (untested): import System.Posx -- Set umask to world read/execute. Save old umask for -- restoration later. oldumask <- setFileCreationMask 0o022 If you need help with this, let me know.
