Is this a bug or a feature ? Arnaud On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 7:11 AM, Arnaud Bailly wrote:

Yes, I have also seen the other post on the same topic, but it seemed to refer to the PortNumber in Network.Socket with a PortNum constructor I think, not the one in Network (but I am probably misleading myself as one is a reexportation of the other...). But then I got.

Slim\SlimClientIO.hs:26:51:    No instance for (Num PortID)      arising from a use of `fromInteger'                   at Slim\SlimClientIO.hs:26:51-61    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num PortID)    In the first argument of `($)', namely `fromInteger'    In the expression: fromInteger $ slimport $ slimConfig st    In the definition of `port':        port = fromInteger $ slimport $ slimConfig st

:-( Thanks

Hi Arnaud,

One thing you might want to try is to stop using the PortNumber data constructor, and instead rely on 'fromInteger' to do the right thing.

The data constructor assumes that it's argument is in network byte order, which won't always be the case.

It's not obvious that the constructor should be avoided - this is the second time today I've seen this!

Take care, Antoine

Hello, I have the following code which works ok on Linux and Windows XP, but fails on Mac OS X with error message:

Connect: does not exist (connection refused)

The server:

   doStartstate = do pr <- liftIO $ runProcess  ...                                    liftIO $ threadDelay 500000                                   st <- get                                   put st { slimHandle = Just pr }

The client:

   fetchAnswers st msgs = liftIO $! do let port = PortNumber $ fromInteger $ port $ config st                                        cnx <- connectTo "localhost" port

Help most welcome, thanks
