Hi Manuel,

There seems to be a binary incompatibility between 10.1 and 10.2, at 
least when it comes to the specific libraries that Hugs uses.  I'm sure 
there's a way around this in general, but I haven't tried to figure it 
out.  The binaries on the download page are built under 10.2.

Your easiest way forward is to download the generic unix source package 
and compile it yourself.  There's no magic involved in doing this, just 
follow the simple install instructions.  Note though that you might 
need to install the GNU readline library first if it isn't on your 
machine yet.  Drop me a note if you need help doing this.

All the best,
Johan
