No, I installed the together, HaXml first and then hxml

In hxml there where a couple of bugs, and no cabal file - AFAIK hxml is not
maintained anymore - last release was done in 2002.
I put everything in order and compiled it. Works fine in Hugs.
Who knows, it could be just me.

But! Look at this code, only pure HaXml. 
The output should be "a" and works with Hugs:

module Main where
import Text.XML.HaXml

xml = "<a>prova</a>"
doc = xmlParse "tmp" xml
elemName (Document prolog _ (Elem name _ content) _) = name
name = elemName doc

main = putStrLn name

And now:

Chasing modules from: xml1.hs

a
[12:03:45][andrea at laptop:~/devel/haskell/xml]$ ghci -package HaXml xml1.hs

Ok, modules loaded: Main.

Leaving GHCi.


This is just amazing for a Haskell newbie!
