Hi, rename the file to hello.lhs & have another go. => Hugs determines whether the file is a literate one by looking at the file extension (.lhs and .verb files are the only by-default literate extensions). You can default to always using literate scripts via the 'l' flag. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Herington" <heringto@cs.unc.edu> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 09:42 Subject: runhugs requires non-literate program

Contrary to the documention, it appears that runhugs (used explicitly or via #!) requires the program to be non-literate.

I'm running Hugs versions of February 2000 and February 2001 on Solaris machines.

buzzard(163)% cat ./hello-lit #!/stotts2/epa1/hugs98-Feb2001/release/solaris/bin/runhugs

...

module Main where main = putStrLn "Hello, World!" buzzard(164)% ./hello-lit runhugs: Error occurred Reading file "./hello-lit": Parsing ERROR ./hello-lit:3 - Syntax error in input (unexpected symbol ">")

buzzard(165)% cat ./hello-nonlit #!/stotts2/epa1/hugs98-Feb2001/release/solaris/bin/runhugs

module Main where main = putStrLn "Hello, World!" buzzard(166)% ./hello-nonlit Hello, World! buzzard(167)%
