I believe that the problem is the value of "umask" (a per-process
variable used to determine the permissions of new files in Unix).
I use a umask setting of "2" (which prevents me from accidentally
creating world-writable files) and my installed copies of
hugs/lib/*.hs is all world readable.
I'd guess that you have a umask setting of 6 or 7?

ps I added this text to hugs/Install
(Note that the permissions of the installed files will be affected by
your "umask" setting. If you want the installed files to be world
readable, you need to set umask accordingly.)
