Hi all,
I am playing with the Socket module in ghc-4.00 and getting weird type
errors. It is quite possible that it is my fault, but I cannot think of
any way to find out.
The problem occurs when I try to initialize some PortID value. With
this line, everything is fine and I get a server running and responding
to my connection attempts:
> portID = Service "webcache"
However, when I use a plain number instead of a service name, ghc
refuses to compile:
> portID = PortNumber 8671
yields:
> Main.hs:10:
> No instance for `Num SocketPrim.PortNumber'
> arising from the literal `8671' at Main.hs:10
I use ghc-4.00 patchlevel 0 on a linux PC (Debian, 2.0.33 Kernel)
(although I doubt this is very helpful). Maybe I mix up different ghc
versions in the libraries, the compiler and the interface files?
thanks a lot,
-Matthias
(sorry again for the bounces a couple of days ago. it won't happen
again this time.)
