I just found out that I can circumvent the problem by adding a line import Char to my loaded file. regards, -john

[Hugs-bugs] Re: [Hugs-users] Setting Search Path doesn't persist in WinHugs
by Sigbjorn Finne 26 Apr '04

Hi, odd, I'm unable to reproduce this here -- path settings are persisted OK in the Registry (this is with an account that lacks Admin privs), and I'm able to see them when restarting. There's three reasons why the default search path settings will be used: - the -P setting makes the Prelude module invisible; the interpreter issues a warning when this happens. - an empty -P setting is used to reset the path upon startup. - the environment variable IGNORE_USER_REGISTRY is set. What WinHugs version are you using? --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Ballinger" <gregb(a)netrox.net> To: <hugs-users(a)haskell.org> Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 23:15 Subject: [Hugs-users] Setting Search Path doesn't persist in WinHugs > I've made many attempts to add a directory to the search path using :set -P > using different strings such as > -P: {Home}/Haskell and > -P;"C:\Documents and Settings\Greg\My Documents\Haskell" > > All have worked during the current WInHugs session (Yes, I created the Home > environment variable).

I'm glad you've got something working, but I'd still like to track down the original problem. Can you send config.log for gcc-3.3?

OK, configure is failing to find an option to build shared libraries (should be '-shared' or '-shared -fPIC' for gcc). Now we need config.log.

The March 2004 archive is missing from http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/hugs-bugs/ and guessing the URL from the general pattern doesn't work. Does anybody have a copy of the March messages? In particular, I am looking for a possible reply to email sent by our support staff about a problem installing hugs under Solaris. The thread appears to continue in April. Thanks, Warren

It seems necessary for me to post again the "first message" mentioned here; I had just subscribed to the list, and it seems I sent the message too soon, and it was missed somehow; my apologies for that. In there, I was saying: ============================================================================================= Hello, all: I am trying to build hugs on a RedHat 9 with the gcc-3.3.3. I have tried first hugs98-Nov2003, and then hugs98-20040130. They fail in the same way. It seems to configure well, and then tells me to do "make ; make install'. That however always breaks, ending in the following: Stub Trex -> Hugs.Trex env HUGSDIR='../hugsdir' HUGSFLAGS='' ./ffihugs +G +L'../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable_aux.c' Hugs.Storable make[1]: *** [../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/hugs98-20040130/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 The "Storable.so" is never built. If I try to build it by hand with "gcc -shared", it seems to work. make -k does not get me past the fail point. ++++++++++++++++++++ The script BuildFFI is strangely empty: the command cat src/unix/BuildFFI produces these three lines: #! /bin/sh cd /usr/src/hugs98-20040130 Could something be wrong in hugs-package ? ++++++++++++++++++++ Installing hugs98-Nov2003-1.i386.rpm yields segmentation fault. Installing hugs98-Nov2003-2.i386.rpm seems to succeed. However, attempting to build after this still fails in the same way. ++++++++++++++++++++ One more note: I have successfully installed first the ghc binary, and then I was able to build ghc with itself: ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.2.1 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Victor Secarin ===================================================================================================== >

As usual, after I complain about something, I find a way to do it. It is still mysterious: - if I install the November-2003-2.src rpm and then I do "rpmbuild -bc <the spec file>" THEN hugs consents to build. - after that, I have to edit the src/Makefile in order to control where it will install the lot, and then I need to export HUGSDIR in order to make it run from there, but it seems to work. If I just install the above source rpm and then cd to the untarred tree and try configure with the same arguments (as posted by rpmbuild -bc ), it still fails in the same way as it did before. What is the correct way to do this? I'm pretty sure it is not what I do... please enlighten, yours truly, Victor Secarin
