Failed to load interface for `Hat.PreludeBasic'
This appears to be a Hat installation problem. Running the command "hmake -v -hat Test" yields the results: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hat-trans DoublyLinked.hs Wrote Hat/DoublyLinked.hs /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -v -c -package hat -o Hat/DoublyLinked.o Hat/Doub lyLinked.hs Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.4.1, for Haskell 98, compiled by GHC version 6.4.1 Using package config file: /usr/lib/ghc-6.4.1/package.conf Hsc static flags: -static -funregisterised *** Checking old interface for Hat.DoublyLinked: *** Parser: *** Renamer/typechecker: Hat/DoublyLinked.hs:11:0: Failed to load interface for `Hat.PreludeBasic': Could not find module `Hat.PreludeBasic': locations searched: Hat/PreludeBasic.hi Hat/PreludeBasic.hi-boot *** Deleting temp files Deleting: /tmp/ghc7184.hc Warning: deleting non-existent /tmp/ghc7184.hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have explicitly enabled hat via ghc-pkg -l lists "hat" not in parenthesis, so I think the package is enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------- When apt-getting hat for ubuntu 6.06, note the troubling output of the package manager "ghc-pkg: cannot find package hat" - this was before the hat package was enabled -- could this be the problem?

/usr/bin/haskell-compiler -v -c -package hat -o Hat/DoublyLinked.o Hat/DoublyLinked.hs
I wonder how /usr/bin/haskell-compiler differs from a straight ghc.
Hat/DoublyLinked.hs:11:0: Failed to load interface for `Hat.PreludeBasic': Could not find module `Hat.PreludeBasic': locations searched: Hat/PreludeBasic.hi Hat/PreludeBasic.hi-boot
It is clear that this ghc is not looking in the package directories, so it is no wonder it does not find the Hat files.
I have explicitly enabled hat via ghc-pkg -l lists "hat" not in parenthesis, so I think the package is enabled.
Sounds OK.
"ghc-pkg: cannot find package hat" - this was before the hat package was enabled -- could this be the problem?
Possibly. But I think the installer does try to remove any existing Hat package before installing a new one, which may be the cause of the warning, and therefore nothing to worry about.
If so, should I more properly ask the package maintainers about this?
You could try asking them if they have had any positive feedback that Hat definitely works for someone else on the same platform. Regards, Malcolm
