Hi there, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but here's a couple of things to check for (my apologies if these are dead obvious suggestions): - don't modify the Prelude.hs file that comes with Hugs -- define separate Haskell modules containing functionality you want to share & and 'import' these into your various projects instead. - Haskell 98's module namespace is rather flat, so if you're trying to common up standard functions&types for a particular project, don't save these in a local Prelude.hs, but name it MyPrelude.hs (or some such.) - make sure you haven't been bitten by the XP upgrade bug -- http://haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-March/000658.html If these suggestions doesn't help you solve your problem, please let us know -- the more details you can supply, the better. hth --sigbjorn instead and 'import' ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Ioannou" <georges_0@hotmail.com> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 09:43 Subject: problem
