error running winhugsHi, have a look at http://haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-March/000658.html which explains what's going wrong, and how to fix it. hth --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Irani To: hugs-users@haskell.org Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 02:24 Subject: error running winhugs Hi, I recently installed winhugs on windows XP platform, and found that when I ran the program from the winhugs shortcut that I created (or even winhugs icon for that matter) I got the following error messages: A dialog box saying: "FATAL ERROR : unable to load prelude" and in the background was an attempt to open the winhugs program with the message (in Red) of: ERROR: Illegal character escape sequence "\ W" " In trying to rectify this I am attempting to change the compatibility that is set with the "-98" command but have no idea where or how to do this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Regards Sam sirani@optushome.com.au
