It looks like CTime (Foreign.C.Types) used to be an Integral but isn't anymore, why? Isn't it just an integer? Frederik -- http://ofb.net/~frederik/

Isn't it just an integer? i also found this problem when switching from 6.2.2 to 6.4, but found some way to walk around it. what is your actual problem? i think that ctime is no more an Integral because you can't add CTime+CTime, nor multiple CTime*CTime and so on - just to catch some possible bugs. but it can be converted to Integral, see at this: modificationTime :: Ptr CStat -> IO ClockTime modificationTime stat = do mtime <- st_mtime stat let realToInteger = round . realToFrac :: Real a => a -> Integer return (TOD (realToInteger (mtime :: CTime)) 0) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:bulatz@HotPOP.com

Eek, don't round time, truncate it. It doesn't become 10 o'clock until the minute hand moves all the way back to the twelve. The minute doesn't advance until the second hand moves all the way to the next minute. This is true for any level of precision with time. Dave
