problem with hiding?

[Christian Sievers]

Hello,

there may be a bug with hiding imports.

I tried to load Functional Metapost
(http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/FuncMP.tar.gz)
and expected all sorts of problems as it is described to be written in 
Haskell 1.4, but not this one:

Prelude> :l FMPMain
[...]
ERROR FMPMain.lhs - Entity "space" imported from module "FMPPP"
already defined in module "FMPPicture"


However, the file FMPMain.lhs contains the line
> import FMPPicture     hiding (text, empty, space)

I cannot see what's going here: simple tests with hiding worked well.
I'm using the Feb 2001 version.


All the best
Christian Sievers
