Error messages from runhugs

[Alastair David Reid]

The error messages from runhugs seem to have gotten much worse in the
version in the repository.

Using old runhugs, we get:

  /usr/bin/runhugs -98 +o ADL3 test
  runhugs: Error occurred
  Reading file "ADL3.lhs":
  Reading file "/usr/share/hugs98/lib/System.hs":
  Reading file "Parsec":
  ERROR Parsec - Unable to open file "Parsec"

Ooops, I guess I should put Parsec on my path.


Using the version in the CVS repository, we get:

  $HOME/local/bin/runhugs -98 +o ADL3 test
  runhugs: Unable to initialise Hugs

Gee, I'm not sure what I did wrong.


Any chance the informative error messages can be restored?

It's possible that you want to suppress the error message sometimes -
so that people don't get Haskell-related error messages when using my
super-duper Haskell version of cat or ls.  

That's cool - but there has to be a way to print the error message so
that I can debug it.  I am completely baffled by the above error
message and have tried adding random things to my path, adding and
removing .lhs from the filename, etc. - all to no avail.
