problem

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi there,

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, but here's
a couple of things to check for (my apologies if these are dead
obvious suggestions):

- don't modify the Prelude.hs file that comes with Hugs -- define
   separate Haskell modules containing functionality you want to
   share & and 'import' these into your various projects instead.
- Haskell 98's module namespace is rather flat, so if you're trying
   to common up standard functions&types for a particular project,
   don't save these in a local Prelude.hs, but name it MyPrelude.hs
   (or some such.)

- make sure you haven't been bitten by the XP upgrade bug --

    http://haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2002-March/000658.html
  

If these suggestions doesn't help you solve your problem, please let
us know -- the more details you can supply, the better.
