QUESTION: what about SOLARIS (7)?

It says NOTHING about unix *other than* LINUX.

Also, what GRAPHICS are available? The book I have is Hudak's, ie all via graphics examples, code, etc.

I did get the Haskell Graphics Library to work on my Solaris system (Solaris 7). It just assumes that if you have such a system, you know how to tweak their Makefile to make it build you a dynamically loadable library. So it took me a bit of studying of some man pages and stuff, but here's what worked for me (I'm using gcc on Solaris; I don't have a copy of the Sun C compiler so I can't tell ya how to get that to work). The only changes I had to make were in the x11/Makefile: diff -c -r HGL_graphics_orig/graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile *** HGL_graphics_orig/graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile Sun Jun 25 23:50:30 2000 --- graphics-2.0.3/lib/x11/Makefile Thu Nov 9 18:05:16 2000 *************** *** 27,33 **** # Configuration (needs to be customised) ################################################################ !

Also, please tell me HOW to sign up for the mailing list.

See http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-users. However, they tell me that hugs-bugs is a more appropriate place for platform-specific questions. See http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hugs-bugs Hope this helps, -- Doug
