I can't get hugs98 to work under my linuxplatform. I have the Red Hat distirbution 7.0. The problem is that hugs requires a file called "readline.so.3" and I have "readline.so.4" on my system. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?? Best regards, David Landell

One *possible* work-around is to just try linking readline.so.4 to readline.so.3. In general that won't work, because the interface to readline.so.4 will be different from the interface to readline.so.3 (that's why they gave it a new major number). But Hugs probably doesn't use that much of the interface to readline (e.g. there's no support for command-line completion, except the default file-name completion), so the difference *might* not matter. It's certainly worth a try ;-) Cheers, Fergus. -- Fergus Henderson <fjh@cs.mu.oz.au> | "I have always known that the pursuit | of excellence is a lethal habit" WWW: <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh> | -- the last words of T.

Simply install readline.so.3. It should be in the package readline2.2.1 that comes with redhat 7. /Dennis

There will be a release of hugs sometime around the end of the year, I believe, that will fix all of this. In the meantime, you can grab an interim version from the following URLs: http://www.galconn.com/haskell/hugs98-Jul2000-1.i386.rpm http://www.galconn.com/haskell/hugs98-Jul2000-1.src.rpm These rpms were built on a redhat-7.0 system. --Jeff

I'm supposedly the new Debian package maintainer for hugs, and somehow I missed the July2000 mark. I'll package that up in short order. Have you written a manpage for hugs and runhugs? I believe I cooked up some, and I can send these back to you if you want them. Actually, the July2000 release hasn't been noted on http://haskell.org/hugs -- is there somewhere else I should be looking to keep track of it?

There is/was no July 2000 release of Hugs; Jeff put out a snapshot from the CVS archive for the convenience of Redhat 7.0 users and used the July 2000 tag to (try and) avoid confusion. The most recent Hugs 98 release is still the February 2000 version, with another release (bug fixes rather than substantial changes) looking quite likely before the end of the year. All the best, Mark
