I am having problems with the SOE graphics library for hugs and have searched diligently for a fix. I thought that you might look at this and know directly what the problem is.
I do indeed. This banner shows you're using the Feb 2001 release of Hugs. __ __ __ __ ____ ___ _________________________________________ || || || || || || ||__ Hugs 98: Based on the Haskell 98 standard ||___|| ||__|| ||__|| __|| Copyright (c) 1994-2001 ||---|| ___|| World Wide Web: http://haskell.org/hugs || || Report bugs to: hugs-bugs@haskell.org || || Version: February 2001 _________________________________________ Sadly, version 2.0.4 only works with the Dec 2001 release (no version of HGL works with Feb 2001). Even more sadly, the last time I looked (less than a month ago), the Debian package for Hugs was out of date (I've asked the maintainer to update it but, like most of us, he's swamped). What to do in the meantime is: 1) Uninstall the debian package of Hugs. This is optional but will save you confusion later. 2) Download Hugs yourself from http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/downloads/hugs98-Dec2001.tar.gz 3) Unpack it and build it tar zxvf hugs98-Dec2001.tar.gz # see hugs98-Dec2001/Install for installation instructions or # just follow the following cd hugs98-Dec2001/src/unix ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-readline # ^^^^^ consider changing this cd .. make install Let me know if you run into problems. -- Alastair Reid
