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.

Editor problem
by David Sun 31 May '01

31 May '01

Hi, I tried to set the editor in hugs as vim using the string :set -Evim but hugs does not remember the setting after I exit it and I have to set the editor everytime I start hugs. This is very annoying, I dunno if this is a bug or not. I have tried the same with root rights, but the same output occurred. I am running Mandrake Linux Version 8.0 on a Pentium III 500 box. Yours sincerely, David Sun (The) University of Melbourne Melbourne, Australia

So, to have it work with both Hugs and GHC, you need to change the 'Left' branch of the case expression in 'main' from Left e -> if isEOFError e then do .... else do ... to Left e -> if isEOFError e || isIllegalOperation e then do .... else do ... hth --sigbjorn

During a vanilla install of hugs 1.4 on Linux 2.2.17, using the unix configure procedure, I encountered the following anomalies. They may be moot, since 1.4 is not the latest version of hugs. Loader flag -ldl had to be added to Makefile in order to get dlopen from the library. snprintf and vsnprintf are in stdio.h, but HAVE_SNPRINTF and HAVE_VSNPRINTF were missing from config.h, which resulted in conflicting declarations. I added the two #defines. The datatype of fpos_t is a struct, not an integral type. I got around it by 3 small (unportable) changes to iomonad.c. Make install bombed because I did not own $(bindir) and $(libdir) and thus could not chmod them. Removing install -d for these directories fixed the problem. Doug McIlroy

Dear Sir/Madam There seems to be a spelling error at your web site on the web page http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/hugs/. The top section seems to say "Dowload the full release of Hugs 98 here". Obviously you mean Download instead. I am using Internet Explorer version 5.5, if this would make any diference. Regards Kent

Function with Two Types?
by Steinitz, Dominic J 16 May '01

I wouldn't expect Hugs to give me two different types for the same function depending on what I'd typed in at the command line.

Where is Time.hs librarie?
by Alfonso Acosta 15 May '01

15 May '01

Hi: This mail is not really a bug report, but I didn't know who to mail to ask this. I use hugs together with Haskore and i've just downloaded the "Standart Libraries" manual from www.haskell.org. There I have read that exists a librarie called Time, which should be very usefull. The point is that I can't find that librarie in hugs. Why it isn't implemented? Thanks a lot: Alfonso Acosta _______________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger: Comunicación instantánea gratis con tu gente - http://messenger.yahoo.es

A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing !
by Iain McNaughton 15 May '01

15 May '01

Hi ! I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to go for help with Hugs, but I'll give it try... Situation is this: I was running some scripts in WinHugs, and everything was running happily. I then attempted to add ( using ":a" ) a new script, and received the following error message: "Program code storage space exhausted". Well, I thought to myself ( fool that I evidently was ! ) that there must be a parameter somewhere in Hugs that I can set to increase the program storage space, so I set out to find it. Unfortunately, having tweaked a couple of numbers ( heap size was one, I think, and the other was something similar-looking ), and restarted Hugs, I now have the following error as I start WinHugs: "Cannot allocate heap storage". Immediately after this error message within the WinHugs interface, a pop-up box appears, containing the message: "Fatal Error: unable to load prelude". At that point, WinHugs disappears. I've tried uninstalling Hugs, and completely re-installing it, but that doesn't appear to do any good. So, I've clearly f*cked up somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. I understand that this might not count as a bug in its own right, as the software is presumably behaving in a perfectly sensible way; rather, the bug is in me, the over-adventurous user. However, though I've read all the documentation, I'm stuck, and would appreciate any help or assistance you can give me. If you want to flame me for gross stupidity, that would be fine, too ! Thanks for your ( hoped for ) help. Sincerely, Iain McNaughton. -- Iain McNaughton
