Hi,

I'm guessing that if you apply a patch along the lines of what was contributed by Sean O'Rourke

http://haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-May/000711.html

things might just improve (I've re-attached that patch to this e-mail message.) Alternatively, build from the CVS version of Hugs ( http://cvs.haskell.org/ )

...

I am attempting an install of hugs on a powerpc (lombard apple powerbook

g3)

...

linux machine.

Compile seemed to go fine but apon running hugs it just sits at

'Parsing..'

...

and never loads the Prelude .. it just seems to hang there.

heres what i did to compile -

-- cd /usr/hugs-blahblah/src/unix -- ./configure -- cd .. -- make -- make install

Any information / thoughts at all is greatly appreciated.

regards Boris Gordon
