After downloading the OSX version, and typing "hugs" to start up the language, I obtain the following error: [schellekens:~] mpcs% hugs dyld: hugs can't open library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Any suggestions? Michel.

WinHugs Command Line Parsing
by Phil Molyneux 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

Hello --- This is to report a possible bug with WinHugs command line parsing. We have installed hugs and winhugs from hugs98-Feb2001.msi. We need to run hugs or winhugs with an option to set the editor, like this -E"I:\business\winedt32\winedt.exe -E=H:\WinEdt.INI [Open('%s");SelLine(%d,7)]" This tells Hugs to use the WinEdt editor which is given its -E option to set the place it looks for an initialization file (ie the users local file not the network copy) and to open the file %s at line %d with colour red (7). With hugs.exe in a DOS box this option works fine. However with WinHugs we get the error message ERROR [Open(%d),SelLine(%d,7)]" - Unable to open file "[Open(%d),SelLine(%d,7)]"" and the editor is set to ``=H:\WinEdt.INI'' It looks as if the command line parsing for WinHugs (but not Hugs) is taking the second ``-E'' as a Hugs option (not a WinEdt option). A workround is to set registry settings or set the environment variable HUGSFLAGS but command line options are safer since users may reset registry settings and affect the next user of the machine (we are running MS-NT with a Novell networks). Has anybody else come across this problem and are there ways of quoting things to get the command line to work for WinHugs?

bug using records
by Pepe Gallardo 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

The following piece of code is accepted by hugs data Record = MkRecord { field :: Int } v = MkRecord { field = 10 } but when i also include a class with the same name as the constructor class MkRecord a I get the following error: Dependency analysis ERROR "D:\test.hs":775 - Constructor "MkRecord" does not have selected fields in MkRecord{field = 10} If I try v = MkRecord 10 instead, I get an internal error: Type checking INTERNAL ERROR: typeAp1 (¯`·.¸¸.-> pepeg <-.¸¸.·´¯)

Not lazy/smart enough
by Sohrab Saran 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

If at the Hugs interpreter prompt I type: 3/4 == 3/4 ...I get "True" If I now type: 3/0 == 3/0 ...I should get "True" but I get a divide-by-zero error instead. Anyone ready to fix this, or should I fix this myself? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

ARTIST PROFILE - THE CRYSTAL METHOD Commemorating the Crystal Method's recent album release, for a limited time Karmaloop.com will be giving out the CD single of The Crystal Method's "Name of the Game" and "PHD" with every purchase. In the four years since The Crystal Method released its debut album, Vegas, the members of the Los Angeles electronic music duo have barely had a moment to come up for air. Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan spent two years on the road, headlining and joining the line-ups of some seriously eclectic tours (Family Values, Community Service, The Electric Highway). They played to everyone from baggy-short wearing kids in Midwestern warehouses to influential fashion designers at a Versace show in Milan, Italy. And their music appeared on major motion picture soundtracks (Spawn, South Park, Lost In Space) and video game scores (Nitrous Oxide). Meanwhile, Vegas rapidly became a worldwide best seller. But the group spent most of its time plotting, conceptualizing and recording a new album at the Bomb Shelter -- the studio they built in the two-car garage of their Glendale, California house nearly a decade ago. The result of their efforts is called Tweekend, and it sets out to scramble what everyone thought they knew about The Crystal Method...

Lazy conflict reports
by Ralf Hinze 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

I am not sure whether this has been reported before. At least, it's not listed on http://www.cse.ogi.edu/PacSoft/projects/Hugs/pages/bugsandfeatures.htm --- Hugs doesn't implement the lazy conflict reports. Thus, if you define module A where head = ":-)" then hugs complains Definition of variable "head" clashes with import The clash shouldn't be reported as there is no ambiguous *use* of `head'. If we change module `A' to module A where import Prelude hiding (head) head = ":-)" then everything works as expected. However, if we import `A' then the error shows up again module B where import A yo = 1 Entity "head" imported from module "A" already defined in module "Prelude" Several on my programs rely on this Haskell feature, so this is a continuous stumbling block ... Cheers, Ralf
