Dear Sirs,

I installed hugs for Mac OS X correctly with the Installer on my OS 10.1. On trying to run hugs at command-line, i got following message:

********* dyld: hugs can't open library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) *********

Where to get that library ? Is it a bug of Mac OS X ? I installed the system without error-messages.

In the transition from MacOSX 10.1 to MacOSX 10.2 a switch from gcc2 to gcc3 has been made. An effect is that all executables which used 10.1 dynamic libraries now have to be recompiled so 10.2 dynamic libraries are (correctly) used. In other words, hugs has to be compiled specifically for 10.2. I do not know if the hugs download site already reflects this change, but you also can download a home brewn installation from http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze/Download/HugsDec2001Installer-OSX10_2.dmg.gz. This version has been compiled with readline and a bit larger stack. Success. cheers, -- - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Institute of Information & Computing Sciences, /|\ Utrecht University, PO Box 80089, 3508 TB Utrecht, Netherlands / | \ Tel.: +31-30-2534093/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze /--| \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 | Email: atze@cs.uu.nl / |___\
