Just to clarify, now that I've had a chance to try building with ghc itself, the problem _only_ occurs when interpreting using GHCi. It builds, and runs, fine with ghc. Daniel On Wednesday 15 February 2006 09:08, Daniel wrote:

Hi,

is foreign import expected to work when using GHCi (ghc 6.4.1) on an amd64 linux platform?

I'm just (attempting) to play around with some code (Oleg et. al.'s Zipper FS) that has the following lines in it: ZFS/ZFS.hs:522:foreign import ccall "unistd.h select" c_select ZFS/ZFS.hs:573:foreign import ccall "fcntl.h fcntl" fcntl

and I get: Compiling ZFS ( ZFS.hs, interpreted ) ghc-6.4.1: foreign import is not implemented for GHCi on this platform.

Ticket 290 ( http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/290 ) seems to imply the foreign import wrappers work in ghc 6.4.
