[Hugs-bugs] trying to build hugs98-20041101 on Linux

[Victor Secarin]

Hello, all:


I have been trying to build hugs on varoius RedHat platforms.

While hugs98-Nov2002  works for me, anything newer fails. I am currently 
playing with hugs98-20041101.

It seems to configure  well (with ./configure ),  and then tells me to 
do "make ; make install'. That however always breaks, ending in the 
following:

cd .. ; env HUGSDIR='hugsdir'   HUGSFLAGS=' '         src/ffihugs  +G  
+L'hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable_aux.c'    Hugs.Storable
make[1]: *** [../hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Storable.so] Error 1

This seems like it should be the last step in the libraries/Makefile

That is, the src is built, it also seems that the convert_libraries 
finishes, and then it tries to build Storable.so under 
hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/  and there  ffihugs fails.

The debugger revealed that ffihugs first tries to open Hugs.Prelude, 
which it finds, as  hugsdir/libraries/Hugs/Prelude.hs,  and then it also 
tries to find Prelude , which ought to be hugsdir/libraries/Prelude.hs 
(or something); it fails to find that file and it bails returning error 
code 1. 

In the hugs98-Nov2002, there is both a libraries/Hugs/Prelude.hs (large) 
and a libraries/Prelude.hs (small, includes the former).

Is there a file missing? Am I doing something wrong?

Please help,
Victor Secarin
